Help Your Rural Teen Find a Path That Fits Their Community and Goals
Your teen doesn't have to choose between their future and their community. Join BigFuture and the STARS College Network to explore paths that fit both.
Students from rural areas and small-town communities bring unique strengths, goals, and experiences to college and career planning, but they may not always see the full range of options available to them. Join BigFuture®and the STARS College Network for a conversation about how parents can help rural teens explore pathways that fit their interests, circumstances, values, and future goals. We’ll discuss how to broaden the search beyond familiar options, evaluate college options, and connect students to trusted guidance and support. Parents will leave with practical strategies to help their teens see what’s possible and make decisions that feel right for them.
Register now to attend live and engage in the real-time chat and to receive a recording afterwards.

Associate Director of Admissions, Dartmouth College
Jaclyn Pageau is an Associate Director of Admissions and the STARS College Network Program Director at Dartmouth College. She grew up in New Hampshire and attended Dartmouth herself, so she understands firsthand what the college search looks like coming from a small town. She is especially passionate about supporting students whose post-high school plans may go against the norms of their community and helping to identify true fit with a school. Jaclyn has traveled across the country visiting high schools and meeting with students. Closer to home, she runs Dartmouth's Community High School Program and partners with the Dartmouth Organization of Rural Students (DOORS) on campus.
