Join us for our fifth annual Life After High School convening on Tuesday, November 12, 2024, from 9:00 - 4:00 PM. Hosted by NOLA CCAN at the Cowen Institute, this momentous event aims to elevate programs, best practices, and capacity building so the adolescent- and opportunity youth-serving counselors and success coaches in our region are poised to support their student populations towards and through a best fit postsecondary plan.
About the Convening: Life After High School’s goal is to foster a culture of collaboration and knowledge-sharing among thought partners, community college personnel, non-profit practitioners, guidance counselors, Charter Management Organizations & NOLA Public Schools leaders, professionals from various business sectors and local universities, and other champions for postsecondary success. Meals, snacks, and a networking happy hour are included, and it will take place on the beautiful Uptown campus of Tulane University.
This event is complimentary for our NOLA CCAN community through the generous support of the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Kresge Foundation, and the Booth-Bricker Fund.
