College Planning Workshop: Building a Smart College List from Home + Summer Plans

(Jan. 28th @6:30 PM on zoom)

With more than 3,000 colleges and universities in the United States, building a thoughtful and balanced college list can feel overwhelming for students and families alike. From researching schools to understanding fit, timelines, and priorities, the process often raises more questions than answers.

To support families during this important stage, we invite you to join us for a virtual College Planning Workshop led by Jordan Kanarek, Collegewise Partner and Founder of Kanarek Consulting.

What Families Will Learn

In this engaging and practical session, Jordan will share:

• Proven strategies for exploring colleges using virtual and creative tools

• How to research and evaluate schools from home

• Tips for planning the summer months productively

• Guidance on building a college list that reflects fit, interests, and goals

• A live Q&A session, as time allows

This workshop is designed to empower families with clear, actionable steps—no matter where they are in the college planning journey.

👉 Registration is required to receive the Zoom link. We encourage families to sign up early and join this timely and informative conversation.
