The Parent Venture: Beyond Being Admitted: Making the Most of the College Experience

The publication of Frank Bruni’s “Where You Go Is Not Who You’ll Be“ in 2015 brought common sense to the often-overwrought discussion of the college search and selection process. At this Parent Education Series special event, Bruni takes the conversation to the next level to bring further common sense (and even inspiration) to a discussion of ways to realize the promise and potential of the college years. Far from seeing these years as merely a step on the road to a job or career, Bruni—now teaching college students himself at Duke University—will offer thoughtful suggestions about making the most of the college experience.

Bruni will be in conversation with Alice Kleeman, the award-winning former College Advisor at Menlo-Atherton High School, Sequoia Union High School District.

Note: Parents, students, educators, mental health professionals, and community members welcome! Free admission. Simultaneous Spanish interpretation will be available.
