First Year Summer Workshop
In today’s world, students have so much to manage before they set foot on campus to begin freshman year. Virtual guidance and support has been our business since 2009 and we are experts at prepping college students for success!
Our 3 session First Year Summer Workshop gets students ready, informed and prepared to make a successful transition from high school to college. Each session is 1.5 hours. This is a very small group, personalized, hands-on, interactive workshop.

**Our First Year Summer Workshops are small group sessions for students not enrolled in our one-on-one coaching programs. Graduating high school students enrolling in our coaching programs cover these topics in-depth with their coach the summer before college.
After completing the workshop, students are prepared for orientation and registration, aware of what will be expected of them, and are able to take proactive steps to be successful in college.

“Even though I was so excited to start college, every time I thought about actually being on my own and taking college classes I got nervous and worried. Getting a head start on how to plan out my time and knowing where to get help when I needed it made me feel more relaxed and less anxious. I think taking the Summer Workshop made a big difference for me because I felt comfortable on campus right from the start!”

“Brian was our first child heading off to college … it’s been a long time and we really didn’t know how to prepare him for how different college would be from high school. We were thrilled to find the First Year Summer Starter Workshop to help him make that transition! From getting his accommodations set up to taking advantage of orientation opportunities and understanding his school’s learning management system, Brian felt really prepared to start college at the end of the summer … and we felt a lot better leaving him there!”
