College is thought to be a launchpad for life and career 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, and there is an increase in student anxiety. The key is to help young adults optimize their time in college. This website helps with this by providing resources and services.
The studies conducted by Howard Gardner and his colleagues define "good" to be something that is excellent, engaging, and ethical. The name The Good Student is based on this research.
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, find a life purpose, become actively involved in college and the community, stay healthy, and prepare for a fulfilling career.
This website also offers a questionnaire that can be used by students and educators to streamline student transition into and through college..It measures students in key areas that studies have shown to support college adjustment, retention, degree completion, and well-being. If you are an administrator or educational professional and would like to enroll your school, organization, or college into this program, please reach out by using the Contact tab above.
Furthermore, The Good Student has a new mentoring program called the JD Mentee Scholarship, which provides the opportunity to work one-to-one with Joseph Dorri (Founder & President) and financial support for college related expenses. It is open to current high school sophomores through first-year college students. This will begin in the fall of 2019. You can learn more by subscribing or contacting us.
Lastly, profits from all of The Good Student's activities go to the mentee scholarship, so to support those who have the aspirations but not the resources to succeed in college and life.
We look forward to being in contact!
Thank you,
