    Level Up Your College Experience

    Send us a text Whether you're a seasoned scholar or beginning your very first semester, we're here to help you navigate your college, career, and life journey. In this special episode, we chat with our Take Stock in College and Career team — Carrie Garcia, Gigi Graves, Difo Moore, and Julia Carter — to bring you essential resources and real talk for the academic year ahead. This episode of the College Corner podcast dives deep into the crucial support available to college students, from the moment they step on campus for orientation to planning their post-graduation career. You'll get expert advice on everything from mastering freshman orientation and class registration, learning what to pay attention to during orientation, how to wisely choose your first classes (especially if you're undecided), and even tips for students entering college with an Associate's degree. Beyond the classroom, we explore navigating college life and essential campus resources, uncovering often-overlooked assets like food pantries, transportation assistance, and career services. We also highlight the importance of getting involved through volunteering and student organizations to enhance your college experience. The team shares practical tips for financial wellness and effective budgeting, whether you're living on campus or commuting, helping you make your money work for you. We share with you how to unlock support services like TRIO programs, explaining what they offer and how they specifically benefit first-generation or low-income students. The episode emphasizes why seeking academic and mental wellness support early is vital, rather than waiting until you're struggling. Finally, we cover career preparation from day one, detailing how your college's career services office can assist with resume building, mock interviews, internships (including awesome career closets!), and long-term career planning to set you up for success after college. This episode aims to provide a solid foundation for your college journey, ensuring you're prepared, supported, and ready to thrive!   Follow Take Stock in College and Career on Instagram Join the LinkedIn Group here Learn more about the Take Stock in College and Career program here
