Some workshop pointers!
- Registration and continental breakfast is at 8am, so please plan on getting there around that time as we will start promptly at 8:30am.
- PLEASE bring a warm sweater (and/or small blanket- kidding!) as we can’t control the temperature and it can get cool (and then back to warm) so plan accordingly.
- If you are a member of the SC Guidance Counselors Association, you are asked to bring your $20 dues (check OR exact change)
- Attached you will find a map of the campus and parking pass that you should utilize
- We have once again updated our Clinician’s Directory, we will be having local clinicians speak, you are responsible for printing this booklet to have for the day if you wish, we will not have any available.
- Again, it is a full day so get there between 8am and 8:15am. Bring your enthusiasm and be prepared to network and soak in seeing and talking with your peers at this special guidance counselors day!
