Product Description
by Chelsea Petree (Editor), Elizabeth Vigil (Editor)
Listos Para La Universidad es una guía integral para padres que desmitifica la transición a la universidad-y satisfará las necesidades de los padres de habla hispana con estudiantes universitarios entrantes. El primer año de universidad está lleno de emoción e incertidumbre.
Listos Para La Universidad brinda una guía práctica, por parte de un grupo de administradores universitarios expertos, sobre lo que se debe hacer durante el verano previo a la universidad, al dejar a los estudiantes en su respectivo campus y durante el primer semestre en la universidad.
Los capítulos abordan las inquietudes más relevantes, como el hacer maletas, el dinero, el mantenerse conectado, la promoción de una independencia responsable y el apoyo al éxito académico. Las listas de verificación le aseguran de no olvidar ninguna tarea importante durante el verano y los temas para iniciar conversación al final de cada capítulo lo ayudarán a iniciar esas pláticas que son muy difíciles, pero a la vez muy necesarias.
Esta traducción especial de Listos Para La Universidad incluye contenido adicional que brinda orientación útil y culturalmente relevante a los padres hispanos de primera generación.
The first year of college is full of excitement and uncertainty for students and parents. And this Fall brings additional challenges and stress.
The 2025-26 college experience will be different from anything a parent might have experienced themselves, or anything they have experienced with other children, as each college student's journey is unique. And there are additional unknowns as students begin college in 2025. College administrators are still seeing the impact of COVID on our young students. Incoming college students have experienced academic disruption and may not even fully understand how to manage their time, and the study skills needed for college-level work.
Parental support of students means even more today.
College Ready provides practical guidance on what should be done during the summer, during drop-off, and the entire academic year.
College Ready addresses topics that parents think most about. Chapters provide expert guidance on top-of-mind concerns including packing, money, staying connected, promoting responsible independence, and supporting academic success.
College Ready is action-oriented and includes Checklists so you don't forget anything and don't do things you shouldn't!
And the book is full of ideas on how to start those tough, but very much needed, conversations. Not only will having these conversations assist you in your college preparations, but they will also open new lines of communication that can continue during the school year.
College Ready is edited by Chelsea Petree, Ph.D., who is the Director of Parent and Family Programs at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Each contributor to College Ready is a current or former college administrator who has worked extensively with parents and families of students. They are all members of AHEPPP: Family Engagement in Higher Education, the only professional association in the world dedicated to parent/family involvement in the college experience. These contributors are experts in the field overall and in the chapters they penned.
College Ready is for parents, family members, caregivers, siblings, mentors, and any supporters of a soon-to-be college student.
