Recurring community sessions

Drop in weekly. Grow monthly.

Three standing sessions hosted by CounselMore Ambassadors — candid, peer-driven, and open to every CounselMore member.

Every Wednesday · Weekly

Wednesday Kollege Knowledge

Accelerate college knowledge — together.

A working session, not a webinar. Counselors actively source, refine, and build curated school data directly into their own CounselMore databases while a rapid exchange of college intelligence happens in real time.

If you've used Community Lists, you know the power of the shared insider edge. This is where we crack the code together.
