Details
This interactive session will discuss the “problem” of the post-college transition, the top issues graduates face, as well as the “solution.” While there’s no one-size-fits-all way to equip students, we will look at what professionals are doing across the nation as well as share best practices from our own institutions.
Workshop participants will
• Gain a better understanding of current issues and opportunities surrounding the post-college transition as well as insight into the top issues graduates face
• Explore hopes and concerns for their current students and recent graduates as related to their unique context
• Learn and share best practices for equipping students to thrive after college
• Gain practical resources and ideas for equipping students to thrive after college
This workshop will encourage those who are beginning new initiatives as well as those who are taking current efforts to the next level. Everyone will walk away with one new idea or story that kickstarts innovation and allows us to dream even bigger as we help our students connect their college experience to their postcollege callings.
Food Provided (Registrants can get lunch in the dining hall and bring it into the South End Dining Room for this event.)

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 and Relevant Magazine.
