BOSTON, MA (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 18, 2016

CollegeWeekLive, the leading website where students and colleges connect online, is proud to announce it has partnered with the National Honor Society (NHS), a program of the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP), to give students, especially juniors and underclassmen, unprecedented access to college admissions representatives as they narrow down their list of top schools for consideration. This alliance will provide colleges and universities with a unique opportunity to recruit high-achieving students across the country.

CollegeWeekLive and the National Honor Society have joined forces to create the first-ever NHS Virtual College Fair. To be held on May 17, 2016, this exclusive event will enable colleges to attract the more than one million students who are members of the National Honor Society. NHS student members will participate in the event by live chatting with admissions counselors and current students at premier colleges and universities around the world.

“National Honor Society students are highly motivated to find their right college match and they will appreciate being able to chat directly with admissions counselors early in their research process to find the best school for them,” said Dr. Jonathan Mathis, director of the National Honor Societies including NHS, the National Junior Honor Society, and the National Elementary Honor Society. “We’re thrilled to share online tools with our students to help them realize their college dreams.”

“It’s rewarding to give colleges the opportunity to connect directly with students who not only have top academic skills, but who exemplify strong character and leadership,” said Sumant Mauskar, president of CollegeWeekLive.
