In this episode of The WPI Podcast, we explore ways that students who are getting ready to start college, at any institution, can manage the transition so they’re prepared to succeed academically.  

Paul Reilly, assistant dean of student success, and Raghavan Rajkumar, an undergraduate student in computer science and data science and a former summer transition assistant, share practical advice for steps students and their families can take in the summer before college classes begin. 

This episode also offers specific guidance to incoming WPI students to help them start strong, discussing what the university does to help students prepare for and navigate their first-year.
