I am a Counselor Education student at The Ohio State University. I have been placed at an internship at a high school in the Columbus City School District. I work with students each day who DESPERATELY need the help of school counslors to walk them through the education process. There is a large population of first-generation students and the college process is overwhelming for students and parents alike. This bill would provide a great resource to families. OSU is in a partnership wih several Columbus City Schools providing Student Support Centers staffed with Graduate and PhD students from the Counselor Ed program. There is a great need and a bill like this would help to ensure that more students are getting the resources they need to go to college and pursue a career.
