Helping Students Plan for Graduate School Successfully

Academic advising plays a crucial role in preparing students for graduate school. By discussing career goals, interests, and strengths with an academic advisor, students can map out a plan for their undergraduate years and beyond. Students must clearly understand their career goals and the necessary steps. Introducing students to graduate school early on and providing the essential resources and support can help them make informed decisions about their future career path.

Transitioning to Higher Ed: A Disability Focused Perspective

Students and youth moving into higher education or formal training programs face a unique level of transition that requires a great deal of self-awareness and self-advocacy. Students from the traditional K12 education system are conditioned to special education services, professionals providing services, and legislation aligning with those services. This presentation aims to provide more understanding and awareness of what a transition from K12 to higher learning looks like for a student with a disability. This presentation will also examine the legislation shift, covering their needs and increasing student responsibility.
