College UnBound: You Don’t Know What You Don’t Know

Update: 2021-10-26

Description

Our theme for Season Two of College UnBound is, “You don’t know what you don’t know.” We consult teachers, counselors, authors, directors of DEI and accessibility offices, college readiness experts, parents, students, and our listeners about the most pressing questions college students who learn differently face as they transition to college.

In this season introduction, Focus Collegiate Enrollment and Outreach Director, Ann-Marie Stripling and podcast host C. Jane Taylor interview Focus Collegiate’s Managing Director and Parent Support and Program Development Consultant, Leslie O’Brien about what parents don’t know they don’t know.

Did you know that for new college students, academics may not be as high a priority as the rest of the transition? The first semester is often more focused on setting a great foundation for ‘everything else.’ In this episode, we look beyond the academics at what ‘everything else’ means.

We explore the areas of self-advocacy, social life on campus, expectation management, changing parental roles, accommodations, and the dreaded and often unanticipated list of mandatory requirements colleges send out during the all-too-short window of preparation after acceptance and before the first day of class.
