The College Guidance Network ("CGN") built the College and Career Resource Library to be a single source of expert information for use by Counselors. Our aim is to ensure Counselors feel empowered and able to better serve their community of students and families. The Counselor Dashboard page of the Library is only accessible to Counselors who have registered for the Library, created an account, and logged into their Library.
One of the most valuable features to Counselors is the ability to share their Library resources with their community The share link for the Counselor to their Library is presented prominently at the top of the Counselor Dashboard and provides an easy method to copy the link for their Library. We also recommend that Counselors bookmark their Library link in their browser for easy and quick access to their Library.
