Whether
starting their first semester, returning after the summer break, or resuming
their studies after taking some time off, you may be wondering how you can best
support your student on their college journey. Paying for college is one of the
biggest investments you make for your children. Ensuring they make the most of
the experience and thrive amidst increasing complexity and use of technology
can be challenging. Above and beyond the impact of the pandemic on the college
experience, a lot has changed in higher education in the last couple of
decades.
This session
will highlight some of those changes and some of the most frequently
experienced challenges for today’s college students. Finally, key resources
available at most institutions and ideas for how you can both support your
student and foster their independence will be shared. Session will be recorded.
