About 170 high school counselors from across Florida explored labs, curriculum and housing at Florida Polytechnic University, witnessing the experience awaiting STEM students.
The visit helped deepen counselors’ connection to and understanding of the opportunities available to students.
“I like to actually come to the campus because students will ask you questions and it’s hard to answer if you’ve only seen pictures,” said Eladia Chávez, a guidance counselor at the School for Advanced Studies in Miami-Dade.
Florida Poly President Devin Stephenson welcomed the group to the Barnett Applied Research Center and emphasized the role counselors play in shaping student pathways.
