School Counselor Event
Tuesday, December 3 | 11:30 a.m. - 1:00p.m.
At Lasell, we host symposia every fall and spring that explore and celebrate one of our core values: Career Readiness through Connected Learning. Each symposium is a wonderful representation of the Lasell spirit, and we want to give you the opportunity to see it for yourself!
Join us on Tuesday, December 3 for a small counselor event where we'll take you through the symposium exposition, one of our favorite parts of the symposium, and have lunch on campus. You can also take a campus tour with a current student before or after the event, which we would highly recommend!
