Edison State Community College
Edison holds Guidance
Counselor Conference
Edison Community College recently hosted 23 area high school guidance
counselors on September 29 in the Robinson Theater. This second annual
event was held to inform high school guidance counselors of the
opportunities available at Edison, as well as, state initiatives that
impact the college and local school districts.
A portion of the event was focused on the new state-supported College
Credit Plus (CC+) program, which affords high school students with the
opportunity to complete college courses while still attending high
school. CC+ replaced the Dual Enrollment and Post Secondary Enrollment
Option Program (PSEOP) formerly offered at community colleges statewide.
Enrollment Managers, Stacey Bean and Christina Raterman emceed the
event and Vice President of Student Affairs Scott Burnam provided a
welcome and introduction. Edison President Dr. Doreen Larson provided
her take on CC+.
“I really try to emphasize to parents that it’s not only a cost
savings, but it’s also the level of work that is important for students
to experience before heading off to a four-year university,” said Dr.
Larson. “We provide a safe, accessible environment for students to get
their first taste of college.”
Following the introduction of Dr. Larson, those in attendance were
invited to get a closer look at the programs offered at Edison.
Breakout sessions provided the opportunity to explore several career
programs including engineering, fine arts, and nursing. Guidance
counselors concluded their visit at Edison with lunch, followed by a
tour of campus.
