The kids are going to college!  Whether they’ve already begun, or are soon heading to campus, it is a significant milestone and transition.

Professor Newman, former Stanford Dean of Academic Advising and associate vice Provost, will offer a detailed guide to critical thinking skills and decode the expectations that college faculty have which differentiates high school from college level learning. 
Ana Homayoun, author and executive functioning expert, will show how developing a system based on one’s individual energy profile and key executive functioning skills allows students to find balance between academics, downtime and social life.
