Start College Strong

Reviews / Votes

Start College Strong is a valuable resource for college students, especially first-generation students, to help them navigate the complex system. This book is information-packed yet offers a space for students to reflect on how the information affects them. It is highly recommended for a first-year experience program! * Micky Lee, Associate Dean of Core Experience, Suffolk University, US * Start College Strong offers the incoming student a holistic reference book for the college experience. By including information on the sometimes "hidden" curriculum including things like understanding the college classroom, college organizational structures and job titles, advising norms as well as academic supports and strategies, Michael Keaton has created a valuable guidebook for every college student. First-generation students and families will find this particularly helpful, but with the changing landscape of higher education, anyone will find something beneficial in this book as they transition to college and face challenges in their first years. As a Director of First-Year Experience, I think this book does a great job of alleviating a lot of the ambiguity that happens in the lead-up and first couple of years of college. * Sue Peterson, First-Year Experience Director, California State University Chico, US *
