These workshops are designed to make the public aware of the organizational, sociological, psychological, cultural, and economic aspects of higher education and the factors that influence college admission, matriculation, and graduation processes.   Topics include:

• Intro to College Life Management:  Gain valuable insights on the expectations of virtually every college official, hiring official or military recruiter for the self-knowledge, self-discipline, and college knowledge students must bring to the table if they desire to earn a credential and become employed.  This workshop introduces participants to the seven major questions they must be able to answer in seven segments of their lives to attain their aspirations.

• Anatomy of Higher Education: Understanding the nature of higher education, the differences in various types of colleges and universities, and how they operate can be a daunting task.  This workshop familiarizes participants with the organizational structure of higher education using the fictitious GottaDo College® as an example. 

• A Day In The Life of A College Student: Our brightest, most gifted, and talented students are getting into college and getting financial assistance, but they are rarely coming out with a degree in hand. This workshop examines various aspects of institutional bureaucracy that frustrate, overwhelm, and undermine the aspirations of college students.  Participants are introduced to over 75 rules, regulations, policies, procedures, codes, and customs that impact students on seven critical days: Decision Day, Orientation Day, Advising Day, Registration Day, Payment Day, Class Day, and Graduation Day.

• College Culture Shock: Adjusting to college can be overwhelming for students who are not aware of the enormous differences between high school and college. This session introduces students and parents to the various stages of culture shock that students experience making the transition from a dependent teenager to an independent adult in a short period of time.

• Stress Reduction:  High school students experience tremendous pressure from peers, parents, and society to perform academically, get into college, get funded, and simultaneously become wholly responsible for managing their lives. This workshop introduces participants to a variety of self-care techniques recommended by the Center for Mind-Body Medicine including concentrative meditation, mindfulness, expressive meditation, guided imagery, and self-expression.
