UW System Fall Workshops for School Counselors

Each September, UW HELP puts together a series of free morning workshops for school counselors and other educators. Workshops are offered at eight Wisconsin locations, and in the Chicago and Twin Cities areas.
Each workshop includes a presentation by UW HELP, brief updates from UW campus admissions officers, and an opportunity for questions. You may also pick up the latest UW HELP and campus-specific materials.

Workshop dates and registration information are announced in the ByLine newsletter. Workshops are free, but registration is required.
