Bringing all staff to one location for Pencils Down seems expensive. Why do we continue to make this investment?

We make this investment to help all of us reconnect, refresh, and be reminded of the relevance of our work. Our thrive priority calls on us to do all we can to make College Board a great place to work. At the center of that is the experience our people have working here, the connections they have to each other, and the connection they have to our mission. Pencils Down is a cornerstone opportunity to invest in our people and help us thrive—individually and organizationally.
