About this Event

Starting college is one of the biggest transitions in a family’s life. While students prepare academically, many families are not prepared for the emotional changes that come with independence, separation, communication, and new responsibilities.

The College Transition Talk is a free interactive discussion created specifically for first-generation college students and their parents or guardians.


Together, we’ll discuss:


  • Preparing emotionally for the transition to college
  • Building confidence and independence
  • Healthy communication between students and parents
  • Managing anxiety, stress, and uncertainty
  • Setting realistic expectations for college life
  • How families can support one another while embracing change
  • Resources for students entering college for the first time


Whether you’re a student preparing for your first semester or a parent learning how to support your child through this exciting new chapter, this event will provide practical guidance, meaningful conversation, and a supportive community.


What to Expect



  • Interactive group discussion
  • Practical tools and strategies
  • Q&A session
  • Networking with other first-generation families
  • Free snacks and refreshments


Admission is FREE. Registration is required as seating is limited.


We look forward to welcoming you as we prepare students and families for a successful college journey—together.
