Want to know a secret? There's more to college than studying and going to class

A Student's Guide to College Transitions highlights the myriad opportunities that are available to you outside the classroom and why it's in your best interest to get out there and participate in them. The guide helps you understand how cultivating new experiences and developing diverse skill sets can not only enrich your overall college experience, but make you a more attractive candidate for future academic programs and employment opportunities.

Growth and learning opportunities aren't confined to a course or classroom. This guide will show you how to get more out of your college experience by leveraging extra-curricular activities and experiences.

A Student's Guide to College Transition is part of the Cognella Series on Student Success, a collection of books designed to help students develop the essential life and learning skills needed to support a happy, healthy, and productive higher education experience.

Dr. April Herring has worked and taught at public, private, and community colleges in her 25 year career in higher education. She has lived in residence halls with students, taught students in the classroom, served as an academic advisor, planned orientation, advised student clubs, and done many other things with and for college students. It was through these activities that she figured out who she is and what she wanted to do with her life. In her 25 years of experience in higher education she continues to see students grow and learn outside of the class in ways that are profound and meaningful.
