This mini-series focuses on how the COVID-19 virus is impacting and changing colleges and universities.
In this episode, I interview college success strategist Katy Oliveira, founder of Collegehood Advice. Her popular Collegehood Advice podcast, coaching sessions, resources and presentations work together to create a 21st century toolkit that teaches students how to maximize their college experience and create a meaningful life. She provides some tips about how students can educate themselves, gain experience and prepare for future opportunities. We both agree on the value of education and a growth mindset. Hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did. Thanks Katy!
