The Rhythm of Gustavus Senior Students: Changing With the Seasons
- A time of reflection on the past as a preparation point for the future
- Bridging the gap between academic and extracurricular experiences
- Making major coursework to career transition
- Attending the Career fair
- Determining school loan debt and other financial responsibilities for the future could be stressful
- Seeking closure not just at graduation but it is a series of steps
- Transitioning into to adulthood and becoming a citizen in the real world
- Staying connected and keeping the relationships alive that have defined them for the past four years can be a transition in itself
Helping your Gustavus senior as they spread their wings:
- Discuss with your student his or her future plans to either attend graduate/professional school or obtain a job
- Listen and don't worry as your student makes some tough decisions
- Support the personal adjustment of your senior during their transition from college to after-college life
- Actively encourage students as they are job searching and exploring but be careful of expectations
Rhythm month by month, Rhythm of First-Year Students, Rhythm of Sophomore Students, and Rhythm of Junior Students.
