She worked alongside colleagues Julia Bryan and Chang Liu at Penn State University to test the conceptual framework of school counseling college-going culture (SCCGC) regarding four critical college-going decisions that high school seniors have to make. This study has provided a comprehensive evidence-supported model that guides school counselors in how to craft a culture in their programs or departments to promote college-going, regardless of the wider culture in their schools.
