The Rhythm of Gustavus Senior StudentsChanging 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

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
