School counselors play a pivotal role in advising students regarding classes to take
in preparation for career pathways. The mission of Utah School Counselor Association
(USCA) "is to support professional school counselors in their work for students through
advocacy, professional development, recognition, and support" (https://www.utschoolcounselor.org/site/about-usca).
Dr. Kalee Crandall’s presentation, "Working Smarter with Data, Even if You Hate It", focused on helping school counselors better understand the value of data and provided
practical strategies and technological solutions to support data-informed decision-making
within their school counseling programs (https://usca2025conference.sched.com/event/2AQRt/working-smarter-with-data-even-if-you-hate-it).
Dr. Kodey Crandall got to hand out swag from the Information Systems & Technology department and answer questions posed by student counselors and others.
