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

However, the current college scene and student outcomes aren't very good:
  • Only 59% of college students complete a four-year degree in six years.
  • About 60% of those who complete a degree take a job that requires a degree.
  • Graduates on average are rated as 44% prepared for the workforce.
  • 45% of college students report being so depressed that they could not function.
  • Women, minorities, first-generation and other groups still have unique challenges and are underrepresented.

"Good" Defined

Good is defined as being excellent, engaging, and ethical. This comes Howard Gardner's work and his colleagues' at Harvard University. ​The Good Student emphasizes these three components in its approach to supporting young adults. 

Vision / Mission / STRATEGY / Plan

We are in the process of developing our articles of incorporation to become a 501(c)3, nonprofit organization. 

​Vision: To give young people the means to succeed and to support them along their journey to health, fulfillment, and becoming community and society contributors.
​
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 weak or potentially problematic areas.

Strategy: We reach out to educators and government officials to encourage them to utilize this resource, present the screening concept at professional conferences, at make it available for individuals. 

Plan: We reach out to at least one school administrator or educator each month to share this tool.

How we do It

Student Success Survey
​(S3)

Workshops/
​Presentations

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.
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.
