Regional Advisors

Texas is organized into 10 higher education regions. Regional College Readiness Special Advisors work with Education Service Centers to serve as key advocates for college and career readiness in Texas. Much of the progress and current readiness work in the state is a direct result of these advisors. Their work can be viewed in the Region page of the Resources section of our website.

See who the readiness advisors are, where they serve and how to contact them, below.
