Help Me Learn More About My Readers

I want to thank everyone for their understanding as I am recovering from my recent partial thyroidectomy. I am still healing, but slowly getting back to regular posting to share helpful information to all of you.

I am taking things slow as I am still recovering. This is why I thought it is the perfect time to reevaluate JLV College Counseling. To do this, I want to learn about you – my readers! I have put together a survey to learn more about you. The survery will help me learn:

  • Who you are (high school students, college students, parents, counselors, etc.)
  • Where you are from?
  • Why you come to JLV College Counseling?
  • What information you want to receive from JLV College Counseling?
  • What you want to see less of from JLV College Counseling?
  • And, any other information you want to share

To help me make JLV College Counseling better,

please fill out this survey

All information is confidential and will only be used by me to learn more about what you want from JLV College Counseling. As always, I will never sell your information!

Thank you, again, for being great supporters of JLV College Counseling! I look forward to your responses!
