589: The Three People Students Need to Succeed in College


Listen Later

Students who build a support system early are more likely to succeed—and stay—in college. That’s why Alma Modern created the Three Connections Challenge: a simple way for students to build meaningful relationships in their first few weeks on campus.

In this mini-episode, we walk through how to connect with:

  • One professor – Use office hours to introduce yourself and ask for a success tip
  • One campus professional – Visit support services like advising, wellness, or tutoring
  • One peer – Start a conversation with a classmate or club member
  • These aren’t just friendly gestures, they’re foundational habits for thriving socially, emotionally, and academically.

    60% of first-year college students are underprepared to succeed. Make sure your student is prepared with LAUNCH, a flexible, summer-before-college program that equips students with the learning, mindset, and productivity skills they need to thrive—starting from Day 1.
