The 2009 College Summit Institute, held from July 21-23 in Las Vegas, united passionate counselors, teachers, administrators, and policy leaders and readied them to act on the belief that high school is a launchpad for college and career success. The Institute offered an array of expert presenters, new skill-building experiences, and deeper exploration of college-going culture.  Whether in workshops, plenary sessions, or networking events, participants were primed to drive a robust school-wide focus on college and career planning.
