College Talk

Hey Juniors! This is your time! Now is the best time to take hold of your future. Make sure you hit that SAT practice hard and stay somewhat focused over spring break. The end of this year will come way faster than you'd expect! Tune in to hear about how you can make the college going process a lot easier your senior year, so you can enjoy it.

We're back with another episode on getting involved! This time I am joined by the Director of the Office of Student Engagement at WMU, Chris Sligh. I had a great opportunity in grad school and my assistantship was through the Office of Student Engagement. I learned a lot about advising, event planning, and the importance of finding your community within a large campus.

Join us as we talk about what involvement looks like at a four year university and how it can lead to a more successful future!

This week we discuss how to get involved and become more successful on a community college campus. I am joined by KVCC's own involvement guru Coty Dunten. She breaks down the ways to get, and stay involved, and how to not feel awkward while trying to jump in.

Heading off to your first year(s) of college is a huge transition! I'm joined by counselor-in-training Lindsey Newell to talk about setting yourself up for success by accepting a couple failures, knowing when to ask for help, and creating that college going mindset.

I'm not alone! I am joined this week by Stephanie Domsic! We talk about understanding award letters and where to find them, because they're a little all over the place. We also talk about things to look for regarding private scholarships and how they could impact your overall aid.

It's scholarship season, so get applying! Give this a listen for a few scholarship tips, both on applying and finding.

Let's break down college financial aid and the dreaded Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)!
