Our College Network: Last year’s high school seniors have successfully transitioned to college! Now our college cohort, they tell us they are doing well in their classes, are involved in clubs, and have gotten internships. Our goal with every student is to help him/her to be confident and intentional with college decisions.

Rising Star: ForwarDirections received some exciting news this fall when Carole Smoot was recognized in the UC Riverside Extension Fall 2016 Catalogue as a “Rising Star.”

Recommendations for Parents
What are the best ways parents can help their children plan for college? First, we recommend that parents talk about college with their children from an early age. Second, take your children on trips to visit colleges. This article from U.S. News & World Report has other good ideas about how parents can help with the college application process.
