About our Keynote Speaker:
Erica Young Reitz is the founder of After College Transition – an organization that helps practitioners (higher education professionals, church leaders, and college ministers) get the proven resources they need for equipping students to thrive after college. She brings 20 years of experience working with college students, which includes a 14 year tenure with the CCO, directing Senior EXIT. Her graduate research focus on the senior year transition (MA in higher education from Geneva College) fueled her first book, After College: Navigating Transitions, Relationship and Faith (IVP, 2016), and her writing on the topic of the senior year transition has appeared in numerous publications, including Christianity Today, Relevant Magazine, and The Gospel Coalition.
Erica works as a Leadership Development Specialist for Bartell & Bartell, helping individuals and teams uplevel their leadership and unleash their organizational potential. She also serves as part-time teaching faculty for Geneva College’s master’s in higher education program.
She lives in State College, PA with her husband, Craig, two children (Hannah and Aaron), and an energetic miniature Schnauzer (Boaz). In her free time, Erica enjoys exploring the outdoors with her family, cooking and eating new foods, or curling up with a good novel.
