Your college junior is embarking on an important and transitional year.

By junior year, most college students have found their comfort and people. On the other hand, some juniors may start feeling impatient to be done with college and start living in the real world. If they haven't already, college juniors now must declare their major. Students in their third year of college are advised to find internships in their chosen fields, start considering additional education (such as medical or law school), or preparing for licensing examinations.

The goal of this book is to help you navigate your college student's junior year, including the challenges and the joys it will bring. Chapters are written by professionals in the areas of family engagement, mental health, study abroad, career services, and the third-year experience. The content will help you guide your junior on their journey with information, resources, and conversation starters.

Edited by Chelsea Petree, Ph.D., the Director of Parent and Family Programs at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Each contributor is a current or former college administrator, and all are members of AHEPPP: Family Engagement in Higher Education, the only professional association dedicated to parent/family involvement in the college experience.

Reviews for College Junior Ready: Expert Advice for Parents to Navigate the Junior Year of College

"""Junior year is where the rubber meets the road for college students. Everything gets real as students prepare for that final year. College Junior Ready addresses all the important milestones-including the ones you may not have thought of as a parent! The advice is practical, balanced, and relevant. I especially liked the discussions around majors and careers.""-Emily Carpenter, EdD, Associate Vice President for Experiential Impact at Nazareth University and parent of a college student ""Practical advice and guidance for parents to help their student navigate their junior year. So much is written to help families transition a student to college from their first year to sophomore year, however, the developmental tools parents need for junior and eventually senior years are equally as important for a student's success.""-Pamela McDowell, Title IX and Section 504 Coordinator and Former Associate Dean of Students, St. Olaf College"
