Ms. Leary was kind enough to gather the contact information for all of the presenters that were going to attend our fair. Feel free to reach out to them if you would like more information about their organization/ programs.

Hi all,
Wanted to share a few fully-virtual opportunities that are open to our students this fall. Please share and forward any questions directly to idiaz@marinschools.org.
The first is a speaker series that can be drop-in or done as a complete series. Students who complete the series and want to earn School to Career credit should let us know in advance, as we will ask for reflections from each speaker. The first speaker is this Wednesday, September 16, from 4:00-5:00 p.m. Please see the schedule and registration link below.
We are also offering a six-week Virtual Job Shadow Program that is more like a class through the www.virtualjobshadow.complatform. A flyer is attached. Students will meet on Zoom on Mondays and Wednesdays from 4:00-5:00 p.m. beginning October 5. They will be able to watch unlimited career videos, take career assessments, create a resume, a LinkedIn profile, student labor market data, create a postsecondary plan, and view the same guest speakers as listed below. Students can earn up to 36 STC hours, which converts to 2.0 elective credits. The registration link is bit.ly/MarinVJS

Career Exploration: California Colleges or California Career Zones
College Research (all U.S. colleges/universities): Niche.com or California Colleges For more recommendations on resources on researching colleges, read the "Developing Your College List" presentations below. Under College application presentations 19/20. Or register for the Zoom meeting on Mon. Sept. 14 at 10:00 here. or check page 51 of the College Planning Guide (also on the CCC page of the school website).
Autobiographical Sketch: If you plan to ask your counselor to write a letter of recommendation this year, please fill out your Senior Autobiographical Sketch by October 1st. All requests for recommendations must be received by your counselor at least two weeks before the deadline. You will need a counselor letter of rec for most private and out-of-state colleges, but not for the UCs or CSUs. You will also need 2 letters of rec from teachers (usually English or History, AND Math or Science), so ask your teachers directly if they'd be willing to write you a letter of rec.
Welcome to the 2020/2021 school year. Congratulations class of 2021! I am thrilled to be working with you all this school year. This year holds a lot of new learning and reprogramming our everyday lives, know that you are not alone. We, the College and Career Center staff are here for you. We understand that senior year is stressful enough as it is and our goal is to ease some nerves.

SAT/ACT Information
Most colleges, Including the UC's, have decided to become "test-optional" for fall 2020 applicants due to the coronavirus, meaning that they will consider your scores if you have them, but won't penalize you if you do not. Check out the list of test-optional colleges. The CSUs absolutely will not consider any SAT or ACT scores.
However, if you are applying to any elite colleges or highly competitive majors within a college, test scores might help your chances of admission. Call or email the admissions offices at those colleges to inquire about whether they prefer for you to submit scores. If so, you may want to register for and take the SAT or ACT this fall. They are offered every month, though you may have to go to a test site farther away from Marin.
If you decide to take the test, be sure to spend several weeks preparing for it. Khan Academy and act.org have fantastic, FREE, independent study online courses. Go to: Khan Academy and Free ACT prep. Or prep with a good study guidebook, such as the most recent The Official SAT Study Guide or The Real ACT Prep Guide.
