Being exploratory when starting college does not put you behind. In fact, it provides a space full of possibility.

This is an interactive workshop where participants will explore the value of curiosity and intentional exploration as they begin their academic journey.

In high school, teachers, counselors and family often step in when you need help—but in college, the responsibility shifts to you. That can feel overwhelming, but it’s also empowering. This workshop is all about learning how to speak up for yourself and asking for what you need, whether it’s academic support, accommodations, clarification from a professor or help with personal challenges.

We’ll talk about what self-advocacy looks like in college, why it matters and how it’s different from what you might be used to. You’ll walk away with practical tools for communicating confidently, navigating campus systems and knowing when (and how) to reach out for support. You don’t have to have it all figured out—but you do have to speak up, and we’ll help you learn how.
