High school counselors visit CCSU

By all accounts, last week’s Clayton State Office of Admissions luncheon for area high school counselors was a rousing success.

A total of 27 high school counselors from Alpharetta to Suwanee to Conyers to Griffin attended the luncheon, and had the opportunity to learn more about Clayton State and its new academic programs, highlighted by the keynote address by Clayton State President Dr. Thomas K. Harden. In addition to representatives of the Clayton State Office of Admissions, students, faculty and staff also participated in the annual event.

“I think our guests today left with a very positive impression of Clayton State,” said interim assistant vice president for Enrollment Services Diane Burns.

“I thoroughly enjoyed myself and the opportunity to tell our visitors about all the new and exciting programs at Clayton State,” added Dr. Catherine C. Aust, dean of the University’s College of Information and Mathematical Sciences.

In addition to counselors from Chattahoochee High School in Alpharetta, Collins Hill High School in Suwanee, Heritage and Salem High Schools in Conyers and Griffin High School, Clayton State also hosted representatives from the following area high schools: Banneker (College Park), Eagle’s Landing (McDonough), Fayette County’, Frederick Douglass (Atlanta), Mays (Atlanta), McIntosh, Morrow, Mt. Zion (Jonesboro), Riverwood (Atlanta), Stockbridge, and Union Grove (McDonough).
