"As students begin their new college year, they are focused on working with their professors in their classes. But relationships with their professors outside of the classroom also have great benefits. We thought this would be a good time to reshare this episode about developing those important relationships beyond the classroom."

"As a follow-up to our earlier episode on communicating with professors (#83), Lynn and Vicki explore some of the benefits of relationships with professors, what those relationships might look like, and how students might approach and work with faculty members outside of the classroom. We often assume many of these social skills are second nature and common sense, but post Covid, students may need help in developing these skills. Parents may be one of their student’s most valuable coaches."

"You can spend a fortune on college and still miss the point if you treat it like something to “get through.” In this episode, Vicki and Lynn sit down with political scientist and longtime professor Dr Michael Pomante, author of the book “What Professors Wish Students Knew: Things Parents and Students Should Know Before Attending College” to talk about the mindset shifts he wishes every student and parent understood before day one on campus. We discuss the decisions that shape the whole admission and college experience: how to know whether a college degree is truly the right path, what students actually learn outside the classroom, and why curiosity is more than a personality trait in higher education. Michael also breaks down an often overlooked detail for college planning: professors’ jobs look very different at community colleges, liberal arts colleges, and large research universities, and that difference changes what kind of support and access students can expect. We also talk about balancing academics with a part-time job, how many work hours tend to be sustainable, and why determination often matters more than raw intelligence when things get hard."
