FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS

A Keynote Presentation for Transitional Students (Seniors Leaving High School and College Freshmen)

Imagine a world where every freshman that entered college finished college.  And not only walked across the stage, but created a life-long love of their university.

Nationwide, only 56% of first-time, full-time undergraduate students will finish their degree within 6 years.  

In this keynote, Coach Parker examines the causes of this trend and proposes solutions to solve it.  

The tools provided in this presentation are perfect for students finishing high school as well as college students, specifically those attending freshman orientation events.  

This humorous, authentic, realistic presentation hits home with all audience members, yet if it influences just one student into finishing their degree, the value added to your educational institution makes the investment in this presentation more than worthwhile!                                                                           Key takeaways:                    

• The importance of networking and how to leverage networking opportunities into post-collegiate career opportunities

• Identifying and actively avoiding the common pitfalls that cause students to transfer or drop out of college

• Developing an optimal balance between academics, occupational preparation, and social life on a college campus

FOR EVERYONE!

                                                                  The key to success in all areas of our lives is to be able to build meaningful connections with the people around us.
