Together we identify short- and long-term goals and develop a plan for achieving them. Coming up with a genuinely workable plan involves identifying what might get in the way of forward progress, as well as the skills and resources students already possess that will help them succeed.<br><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><br><strong><em>We layer goals for long-term success.<\/em><\/strong> By helping students become aware of what it takes to achieve a specific goal, they develop skills and habits that set them up for long-term success. Whether their aim is to catch up in multiple classes or choose a major, we always build in the additional goal(s) of developing the skills to accomplish it. I work with students to identify detailed steps to achieve their goals and help them stay conscious of their efforts in the process. As a result, they gain confidence and learn how to get things done.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<section id=\"gm37143cc\" class=\"wp-block-gutentor-m2 section-gm37143cc gutentor-module gutentor-dynamic-columns\"><div class=\"grid-container\"><div class=\"grid-row\">\n<div id=\"col-gmb6af1a\" class=\"wp-block-gutentor-m2-col col-gmb6af1a gutentor-module gutentor-dynamic-single-column grid-lg-6 grid-md-4 grid-12\"><div id=\"section-gmb6af1a\" class=\"section-gmb6af1a gutentor-single-col\">\n<div id=\"section-gf30c21\" class=\"wp-block-gutentor-e1 section-gf30c21 gutentor-element gutentor-element-advanced-text\"><div class=\"gutentor-text-wrap\"><p class=\"gutentor-text\"><strong><em>We assess.<\/em><\/strong> Along the way, we talk frankly about what is working and what isn\u2019t, and adjust accordingly.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"col-gmf66b07\" class=\"wp-block-gutentor-m2-col col-gmf66b07 gutentor-module gutentor-dynamic-single-column grid-lg-6 grid-md-4 grid-12\"><div id=\"section-gmf66b07\" class=\"section-gmf66b07 gutentor-single-col\">\n<div id=\"section-g5deffd\" class=\"wp-block-gutentor-e2 section-g5deffd gutentor-element gutentor-element-button button-align-center-desktop button-align-center-tablet button-align-center-mobile\"><span class=\"gutentor-button-wrap\"><a class=\"gutentor-button gutentor-block-button gutentor-icon-hide\" href=\"https:\/\/thrive-in-college.com\/?page_id=26542\"><i class=\"gutentor-button-icon fas fa-book\"><\/i><span><strong>CHOOSE AN ADVISING PLAN<\/strong><br><strong>THAT FITS YOUR NEEDS<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<section id=\"gmc0d83c0\" class=\"wp-block-gutentor-m2 section-gmc0d83c0 gutentor-module gutentor-dynamic-columns\"><div class=\"grid-container\"><div class=\"grid-row\">\n<div id=\"col-gm4e478f\" class=\"wp-block-gutentor-m2-col col-gm4e478f gutentor-module gutentor-dynamic-single-column grid-lg-12 grid-md-4 grid-12\"><div id=\"section-gm4e478f\" class=\"section-gm4e478f gutentor-single-col has-color-bg has-custom-bg\">\n<div id=\"section-g3d1207\" class=\"wp-block-gutentor-e1 section-g3d1207 gutentor-element gutentor-element-advanced-text text-align-left-desktop\"><div class=\"gutentor-text-wrap\"><p class=\"gutentor-text\"><strong>What does it mean to thrive in college?<\/strong><\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"section-g197d59\" class=\"wp-block-gutentor-e1 section-g197d59 gutentor-element gutentor-element-advanced-text text-align-left-desktop\"><div class=\"gutentor-text-wrap\"><p class=\"gutentor-text\">Put simply, it means to grow as a person in all sorts of ways.
