The Beauty of Being Exploratory

Being exploratory when starting college does not put you behind. In fact, it provides a space full of possibility. This session invites exploratory students to embrace their exploration and the flexibility that comes with not having it all figured out (yet). Students will have the opportunity to explore the value of curiosity and intentional exploration as they begin their academic journey.

Self-Advocacy in College

In high school, teachers, counselors and family often step in when you need help—but in college, the responsibility shifts to you. That can feel overwhelming, but it’s also empowering. This session is all about learning how to speak up for yourself and asking for what you need, whether it’s academic support, accommodations, clarification from a professor or help with personal challenges. We’ll talk about what self-advocacy looks like in college, why it matters, and how it’s different from what you might be used to. You’ll walk away with practical tools for communicating confidently, navigating campus systems and knowing when (and how) to reach out for support. You don’t have to have it all figured out—but you do have to speak up, and we’ll help you learn how.
