College is thought to be a launchpad for LIFE success...

However, the current college scene and student outcomes aren't very good:
  • Only 59 percent of college students complete a four-year degree in six years
  • About 60 percent of those who complete a degree take a job that requires a degree
  • Those who do graduate are rated as 44 percent prepared for the workforce
  • Furthermore, women, minorities, first-generation and other college students still have unique challenges to overcome
  • Depression hinders one-fifth of students
  • Up to 33 percent of students have food insecurity
  • There is an increase in student anxiety​

"Good" Defined

Good is defined as being excellent, engaging, and ethical. This is based on Howard Gardner's work and his colleagues at Harvard University. ​

The Good Student uses this framework to help young people. 

Vision / Mission / STRATEGY / Plan

Vision: To give young people the means to succeed and to support them along their personal journey to health, fulfillment, and becoming contributors to their communities and society.
​
Mission: To have every college and high school using a screening tool that confidentially gauges students on key factors related to well-being and college success to then provide them with resources to support students in those areas.

Strategy: We reach out to educators and government officials to encourage them to utilize this resource.

Plan: We reach out to at least one school administrator each month to share with them the importance of using this tool, our screening tool or one we can help them develop.

How we do It

book
This website also offers a confidential questionnaire that can be used by individuals and educators to streamline students' transition into and through college..It measures students in key areas that studies have shown to support college adjustment, performance, and well-being.
We offer personalized focus and attention to help you individually to reach your college, career, and life goals. 
These workshops are based on research and first-hand experiences. They will equip you and help you get ready for the upcoming academic year and motivate you to succeed in life. 
The book equips entering and continuing college students with the information and resources necessary to succeed. It shows how to apply and get into college, select a major and courses, become involved in college and the community, be healthy, and prepare for a fulfilling career and life.
