What 10,000 Students Said About Emotions and College Planning
High school students are struggling with stress, anxiety, and worry. A survey conducted by the Harris Poll found that 7 in 10 teens struggle with their mental health. The National Health Institute of Mental Health reports that one-third of adolescents suffer from anxiety. Given these and many other findings, are we too naïve in assuming that all prospective students are excited about leaving home, going to college, and starting this new chapter of life? Likewise, do enrollment professionals assume each step of the college planning process is exciting and fun for prospective students instead of considering how stressful planning and leaving for college can be for them?
Hear new insights into this important topic during this webinar. The presenters share new survey results from a study of more than 10,000 12th-grade students. This groundbreaking research reveals their thoughts, feelings, and challenges with key college planning activities and experiences. Come away with an understanding of how you can connect with students, meet them where they are emotionally, and give them the tools and information they need to make informed decisions.
