Title:  First Semester: The College Freshman Perspective

Date: December 17

Target Audience: All GPACAC Members

Time: 1:00 PM

Guest Speakers: Current Freshmen Students in various colleges

Topics Covered: We have invited some first semester college freshmen to share their experiences during their transition from high school to college. They will share how they found a community, how they are managing their stress and learning to advocate for themselves academically. Our goal is that hearing directly from students will help counselors connect the student experience to the guidance they provide to their current high school students. When you register, please list questions you would like to ask the students. Learn more and register to attend
