Meet the Forum Coaches: Connect High School with Higher Education

The transition from high school to higher education for many of us is a crucial one: we start to choose a focus, a direction, or a major to develop our future careers, trying to figure out what we can/like/are able to do to contribute to this world. But the transition is more than the accumulation of knowledge, it is also about developing life skills such as self-discipline, communication and social connections.

Six coaches have signed up to assist the Forum participants to embark on this journey. These young men and women are in a perfect position to do so because they themselves finished high school not that long ago, and now they are excited to give back.
