We are thrilled to introduce our Keynote speaker Nicole Brittingham Furlonge, PhD, Klingenstein Family Chair Professor of Practice and Director of the Klingenstein Center of Teachers College Columbia University. Her keynote, titled Listening as We Counsel: Responsive Practice for College Counseling Leadership, is not to be missed. This session will focus on this question: How might listening play a transformative role in our practices? For this generative session, we will spend a good deal of time collaborating and listening with one another. As we do so, we will tune in particularly to equity, inclusion, social action, and belonging work in our schools and our college counseling practices. Drawing from Zora Neale Hurston's notion of the power of "hungry listening," Nicole will explore this ethical mode of engagement and its potential for creating enduring change in schools and, in particular, the systems and practices we design for student and family engagement in the college search process.
