High school counselors can use Slate.org to create college fairs and school visits, with the option to invite colleges & universities and students. Colleges can respond to invitations and request visit registration through Slate, which would be approved or declined by you as the high school counselor in Slate.org. Students can also accept or decline the invitation through their Slate.org account.
