AARAO Information for Guidance Counselors

Statement of Purpose

AARAO recruitment activities are designed to provide students, parents, teachers, guidance counselors, and others with accurate, concise information relating to post-secondary opportunities in Atlantic Canada. Although we understand that a level of competition is inherent in our jobs, we believe that through our cooperation we provide the best service to our clients.

The recruitment activities on the AARAO coordinated schedule play an important role in a prospective student's choice of post-secondary education and, as such, participating institutions carry a professional responsibility. Members should attend the events on the coordinated schedule as much as possible. All other activities should be such that they do not duplicate or undermine the effectiveness of this cooperative effort.

AARAO will schedule recruitment events according to geographic blocks with consideration for member institutions' budget and for staff health and safety.
