It's been just a year since Wisconsin launched an effort at reaching high school students working to make decisions about what their "next step" might be.  College?  Tech College?  No college?  If you're the first person in your family to consider these options, your questions can outweigh answers.  That's why the College for Rural Wisconsin(CFRW) was created.

Headquartered on the UW-Madison campus, CFRW is an outreach service that wants to assist rural school districts that may find themselves short of financing and staff available to counsel students with career questions.  Jennifer Blazek, program director for CFRW, says the goal is to provide resources that might be stretched thin in rural school districts like access to school guidance counselors.  The college is affiliated with 16 other campuses, some private, some public, across the U.S. including Vanderbilt, Yale and the University of Chicago - all part of the STARS College Network.
