College 101

TO:   High School Counselor Office
I am writing to introduce a new seminar designed to help college-bound seniors succeed during their upcoming, pivotal freshman year. Nationally, the first year attrition rate stands, unfortunately, at 26%.

Participants in this 1 or 2-hour seminar will learn basic academic protocols, problem-solving techniques, study tips, and social scene strategies for first year college students. Topics include:

- Choosing Classes
- Note Taking Tips
- Test Strategies
- Social Scene Changes
- Credit Card Lies
- Roommate Woes
- Safety on Campus

This program is not geared toward ANY specific institution, but applicable to any student going away to school.

Please call to discuss offering this program to your students. Scheduling can be arranged at your convenience. Thank you again for your consideration. If this seminar keeps just one student from dropping out during their freshman year, it will be worth it!

Thank you,
           Brian Raison

Note: Generally, staff time permitting, there is NO CHARGE for the program.
