OverviewPassport to College Success has had an amazing effect on my students by offering expanded definitions for each person of what it means to be in college. As a result, students using this workbook were better able to speak and understand the language of higher education and weave together the empowering aspects of their own stories. This is a text that intentionally asks students to explore their backgrounds to draw on the ""brilliance"" inherent in them, as well as identify demographic factors that have meaning at the post-secondary level. It provides a framework for moving students through a process of preparation for success in college as well as transitioning to their long-term goals. It is one of the rare guides that enables my students to benchmark themselves during their academic journey with practical tools that enhance their exposure to resources, mentoring, coaching, and what it means to become truly educated. The workbook helps students at all levels reflect on their college experience from a down-to-earth, strengths-focused approach, while moving them towards a growth mindset. I will use this book with future cohorts preparing for college-readiness, degree completion and transfer, as well as in my student success seminar course offered to new college students.
