Motivated and successful continuing students are trained in Communication, Problem-Solving, and Leadership skills which are then employed as they become a vital point of contact for incoming freshman trying to navigate the demands of College Life. This one-on-one approach seeks to ultimately provide students with someone who has experienced exactly what they are embarking upon and can provide the resources and support for them during their critical first year.
