Lauren M Barrow, PhD – THE NEW FRONTIER: Navigating Education Post-COVID
College visits, applications and completion in the Post-COVID era is going to be different from anything seen before. Indeed, the college experience is going to be different from even just last year. Parents need to trust that our young adults are making the best decision for them, even if that means that we, as parents, are unfamiliar with the path that they are taking. This presentation introduces parents and students to how higher education is pivoting to respond to the “new normal”, as well as providing insight into questions that the parents may have. Lauren is mother to a 2020 college graduate and current and future college students (maybe), as well as Chair for the Center for Education, Advocacy and Social Justice at Chestnut Hill College. barrowl@chc.edu
Samantha Feinman – Self – Advocacy in the age of Virtual Learning
Students need to learn how to self-advocate and be proactive with regards to finding and utilizing help. The barriers students may encounter to receiving help, and how they can overcome such barriers will be highlighted here. The importance of self-advocacy and help-seeking skills especially in the e-learning environment where learning and instruction tends to be more linear will also be emphasized. Samantha Curiale-Feinman, MS. Ed., TSHH, is the Director of New Frontiers Executive Function Coaching. www.nfil.net
