Write your Story and Cast Yourself as the Lead

  • Making connections that count

  • Personal and professional branding

  • Grinding out excellence

  • Serve your community

Teachers Make the BEST Mentors!

Educators, this session is just for you! Advising with Confidence tackles the heart of a big challenge Dr. Brown encountered as a high school teacher. Students were constantly making conversation with her about their plans beyond high school. While she really enjoyed the conversations, she was honestly only skilled enough to recall her own experiences as a first-year, first-generation student.

This session outlines the basics of college and career prep. These tools will help teachers partner with school counselors and connect the dots between student ambition and college preparation beyond academics.

A few key takeaways from this session include: 

  • The college admission process

  • Majors, Minors, and everything in between

  • Advisors v. Counselors—what’s the difference

  • “I’m majoring in basketball”—tips on guiding student-athletes

  • From the heart of a college professor

Mentoring Generation Z  

From birth, Generation Z has had access to technology. This strength often goes overlooked because it counters much of what we learned about the importance of human connection. When today’s youth and young adult population learn to connect with technology in healthy ways, the possibilities are endless and can work to support your business or organization in ways you have yet to imagine.

This session is perfect for businesses and community organizations that are interested in starting a Cultured for College Career Mentoring Program

Key takeaways from this session include:

  • Building learning outcomes

  • Conducting a social media audit

  • Intentional mentoring

  • Ground rules and boundaries

  • Professionalism and Ettiquette
