Carol Diebel has been a college and career advisor at Fairview High School and in the Boulder community for fifteen years.  She was the first recipient of the Superintendent’s Award for exemplary service in the Boulder Valley School District for her development of a unique college and career planning and resource center that is used by students, families, and faculty from surrounding high schools and districts.  By co-designing classroom assignments that involve all students in the post-secondary planning process, she has worked with students of all abilities, talents, challenges, and interests.  This curricular interaction is unique in the field and has given Carol a chance to develop sensitive insight into the kinds of questions that help students realize the ways in which their own interests and personalities become strong indicators of college selection.

Carol hosts 2-300 college representatives each year and has personally visited over 300 four-year campuses.  She has authored and co-authored numerous articles on college admissions topics and spoken to student, parent, and faculty groups in school and community settings.  She is a member of NACAC (the National Association for College Admissions Counselors), ASCA (the American School Counselor Association), CSCA (the Colorado School Counselors Association), the Rocky Mountain Association for College Admission Counseling and the Colorado Council on High School and College Relations.
