Empowering Students: Building a College Preparation Podcast

As we embark on the journey of preparing today's youth for tomorrow's challenges, we recognize the pivotal role skills in journalism, media, and mass communications play in shaping their future.

With an ever-evolving landscape of higher education, there exists a pressing need to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate the transition to college successfully. Our proposed project seeks to address this need by launching a podcast focused on college preparedness.

Entering college marks a significant milestone in a student's life and the transition from high school to college can be daunting, characterized by a myriad of challenges ranging from academic rigor to social adjustments. Recognizing these challenges, our initiative endeavors to establish platform that offers practical advice, expert perspectives, and inspirational stories to support students in their journey towards college readiness.

The Purpose of Our Podcast

Our podcast on college preparation serves as a beacon of guidance and support for students as they navigate the complexities of the college admissions process, academic expectations, and campus life. Through insightful discussions, informative interviews, and relevant topics, we aim to demystify the college experience and empower students with the knowledge and confidence needed to thrive in their academic pursuits. By addressing key areas such as study skills, time management, financial literacy, mental health, and career exploration, we seek to equip students with the essential tools for success both inside and outside the classroom.

Ms. Andrade will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by July 20.
