HAPPY FIRST DAY OF COLLEGE!

Congratulations to those of you beginning your college journey today! Remember many of the students around you are also experiencing their first day. Introduce yourself, make a new connection, help each other out and ask questions! It's likely that you are NOT the only one wondering where this building is or that classroom is or what some abbreviation means on the syllabus. 

Have fun out there! 

And as always, let me know if I can help you in any way.

Summer Bridge Opportunities!

Hey, Seniors! Some of you are a mere 24 hours from graduating high school. 

Congratulations! 

The adventure is JUST BEGINNING! 

As we've discussed, your transition to college will be an exciting AND challenging one. College is VERY different from high school (YAY!) and will provide you many opportunities to use your problem solving, self-advocacy, and critical thinking skills. You'll have MORE freedom and MORE responsibility. There are a few opportunities open to you this summer to further prepare you for the BIG ADVENTURE of college. Check these out!
