Don’t go through life just checking the boxes!

The Student Institute is an opportunity for students who have completed at least one college semester to create a personalized plan for getting the most out of their college experience in relation to their career and life goals.

Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in small discussion groups with students, advisors, and faculty to begin building their personal network and creating an individualized action plan.

As a participant, you will:

  • Create Your Blueprint for Success: Implement An Education & Career Action Plan
  • Build Your Support Team: Create Your Peer Network for Future Opportunities
  • Partner with a Pro: Receive Individualized Support From An Experienced Faculty Mentor 
  • Identify Your Dream Job: Align Your Skills and Interests With Job Opportunities

“This group has been such a blessing, Connecting with others and challenging our thoughts on our goals and the future. The only thing I wish was different would be that this would create an official club. I found it to be helpful especially where a lot of us are remote.”

Kariann Barnes, MHHS Student & Program Participant
