Produktbeschreibung

Have you ever felt overwhelmed with college? Like you are just another social security number filling up a seat or a computer screen? Dr. Rich Schlesinger's book will teach you how to establish valuable connections on campus and in your community, which will ultimately lead to a more fulfilling college experience.

Are you feeling inundated with voluminous amounts of mail and messages from several different departments, none of whom seem to be connected to the other? The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing? Is decoding the Student Code of Conduct an exercise in futility for you? This book will help you understand the code of conduct to ensure that your rights are protected, and to simplify the bureaucratic processes involved in applying to and enrolling in college.

Do you feel like there are resources that you are entitled to that you aren't receiving? Dr. Schlesinger's book provides the solutions to this and other problems, and will help you make the most of your college experience. Having more than 25 years in higher education as a student, administrator, career counselor and faculty member, he has the unique perspective of seeing how education functions on both sides of the isle, and how information is disseminated from the very top levels of administration right down to students' inboxes.

His book is a user-friendly manual on how to make the most of your college experience, including a blueprint for student advocacy, tools and resources to help you figure out who you are and what you want to do, and equally important, who you are not. Create an advocacy action plan that will help distinguish you from other candidates when it comes time to throw your resume into the ring. Learn how to leverage advocacy to enhance your career prospects as well as ways to engage and advocate that will make you stand out among your peers.

The book also offers hands-on and practical advocacy tips for parents who are navigating the challenges that come with having a child in college for the first time. Financial aid advocacy, community advocacy and social media all play a key role in your student's future. Learn how to get the most bang for your buck and much more!

Educators have known for a long time that self-advocacy skills are critical in overcoming frustrations and roadblocks to success in all of life's adventures, yet many college students just don't ask.
