This week, dive into an enlightening conversation with Bernadina Gonzales Streeter from the University of Houston Clear Lake, as we uncover the life-changing impact of experiential learning. Gain exclusive insights into how colleges are offering more than higher education with greater opportunities for our next generation of college graduates.

We delve into:
-The art of crafting these practical experiences to align seamlessly with student majors
-Strategies for students to navigate their future with certainty
-The critical role of academic advising
-The art of professional networking
-Strategically using platforms like LinkedIn to spark connections that can shine a light on various career possibilities
-The college selection process

 We emphasize the crucial blend of academic and real-world experience, urging students to seize internships and other hands-on learning opportunities to solidify their educational journey.

We highlight the essence of collaboration. Whether it’s seizing campus job opportunities that compliment your studies or the unexpected gains from cultivating professional bonds, this episode celebrates the endless possibilities open to students who proactively seek them out. Let's continue to weave these vital connections together.

As a first-generation student she earned a bachelor's and master's degree in the University of Houston System, Bernadina found her why in higher education. She made it her passion to teach others how to leverage the resources at a college or university.

"Many families and their students misunderstand what resources exist during the academic journey. If a student viewed the entire campus and every single administrator, department and staff on their campus as a member of their team, the transition into a college or university would be much smoother.  As a mother of a current college student, I've trained her to ask questions, make connections and curate her team to help while pursuing her academic goals."
