Pathway Programs to Life after College
McAtee, Jim F.
New Directions for Student Services, n138 p29-41 Sum 2012
The transition from college to whatever lies ahead can be exciting and scary for students. How the transition experience unfolds for students will be the result of a combination of factors including individual circumstances, how the student responds to change and unknown expectations, and how well they are prepared and informed for their transition. While it can be difficult to affect individual circumstances, well-crafted programming can be helpful in shaping how well students respond and how well they are prepared and informed. Programs are one avenue for preparing students for after-college life. This chapter explores programming used to prepare students for the transition to various next steps in their lives, including from community college to university, from undergraduate years to graduate school, from university to work, and from university to military. The author discusses general principles, theories, and examples of such programs.
