    Destination Graduation:

    Navigating the Roadblocks and Speed Bumps of College

     

    As a new student, you are dealing with a ton of “new.” New surroundings, new friends, new routines—it’s a serious overdose. Whether you love change or feel completely overwhelmed by it, the big issues of transition are staring you in the face. Where high school was about making the effort, college is about achieving results. For many new college students, the first months feel like climbing an enormous, intimidating mountain.

     

    Kim understands those feelings, and she’s here to tell you that you can not only climb the mountain, you can do it intelligently so that you don’t wear yourself out on the ascent. In her keynote speech "Destination Graduation: Navigating the Roadblocks and Speed Bumps of College," Kim talks about the four elements of a successful transition:

     

    • Dealing with the fear of change
    • Resolving conflicts and moving through them
    • Managing your time and setting priorities
    • Motivating yourself to survive and thrive in a new situation

     

    Students will leave Kim’s session with less anxiety about all that lies in front of them. She will encourage them to look at each challenge individually—not to get swept up in the enormity of it all. Most of all, she will help students understand how a managing their own successful transition will strengthen their confidence, open up new opportunities and set them on a path to bigger and better things. Kim’s message is the perfect mix of academic encouragement, personal wellness, social confidence and motivation.
