Geaux Wiser is the book I wish I had before starting college. It's a well-written book that covers everything you need to know to have a successful college experience. Chapter 9 is my favorite because as a family member who will support college students, it's a refreshing reminder to know that with age comes wisdom, and supporting our family member is much more about the road ahead of them, even as we look in reverse. One of the best things about Geaux Wiser is that it's written in a way that you can easily and go to the sections that are applicable to the current college situation for actionable steps. I'll be purchasing more books for all my mentees. - Jacqueline V. Twillie, Founder of ZeroGap, Author of Navigating the Career Jungle An authority in student success, Dr. Erin Wheeler's primer, Geaux Wiser, is a must read for every college-bound student...and their families. Weaving her experiences as a first-generation college student with situational examples of student issues, Dr. Wheeler demystifies the college success paradigm. Addressing both academic and social issues facing 21st century students, Geaux Wiser provides students with the tools of self-advocacy to take ownership of their educational experience on their journey of self-actualization and achievement. Unlike many books on the college experience and student success, Geaux Wiser presents both a definite path toward graduation and a vision for life after as lifelong learners and professionals. - Dr. Candice Love Jackson, Professor and Higher Education Administrator I'm usually not a reader. However, I quickly finished this book. As an African American male that has struggled transitioning in college, Geaux Wiser has helped me to see what I was doing wrong and helped me to set new goals to complete college on time. I would definitely recommend this book to other males looking for a mentor or someone to help them understand college. Since reading Geaux Wiser, I have been scheduled to graduate with my bachelor's degree in social work in spring 2020. - Ricky Ray Jr. I read it too, and it was insightful and honest about college life experiences. I always tell my son to join organizations and study groups, as they help to build a network of support, and you never know how being connected can benefit you, the right connections, that is. Dr. Wheeler also confirmed what I have been telling my son throughout high school, and that is to prioritize, start early, study daily, be well-rounded, and manage your time. -Melinda Cooper This is a Fantastic Read!
