What do the following support services professionals do? As a small group, research the professional support services career assigned. Draw a life-size silhouette of a human, then draw and label clothing, accessories, and appropriate body parts that would exemplify characteristics of a professional in the position you are reseaching. Example: Draw a suitcase in tow and label, "Crisis Counselors help students with all the 'baggage' they carry from their personal lives." Be ready to post at the end of class.

Prepare for your next "field trip" to your home campus tomorrow. You will be visiting with the Guidance Counselor (and possibly a crisis counselor) on your campus. Obtain your interview guide for tomorrow. Be sure to have a writing utensil with you. 
 * //Tuesday, March 18// **

Then, prepare for next week's speakers panel by writing three high level questions to the professional support services professionals of your choice. Be sure to designate which questions go to which professional. These questions will be used in a panel discussion next week.

Remain at your home campuses and report to the counseling office promptly. Sign in on the roll sheet so you will not be counted absent. Conduct an interview with the guidance counselor by doing the following:
 * //Wednesday, March 19// **
 * Introduce yourselves by shaking hands and stating your name (first and last)
 * Take turns asking questions to your guidance counselor (and crisis counselor). If you have additional questions, be sure to ask them and record the responses on the back of you guide sheet.
