Next Episode: College Talk - Ep. 38 - Putting PRIDE in the College Search Process

I am joined by Jessica, who is another awesome AdviseMI College Adviser. We talk about her experiences as a first-generation student and some of the challenges and barriers she faced. She talked about her experiences heading to college 8 HOURS AWAY(!!!) and gave some tips and tricks to prepare.

We also talked about some things students might miss out on with virtual first year programs and how they can make up for it once they're on campus in the fall.

COVID-19 has definitely thrown a loop into the college going process and I want to help in anyway I can. If you have specific questions, want to chat and brainstorm ways to reach and help students, or have some ideas you'd like to share on an episode or blog post, please email me at [email protected].
