Traditional education rarely prepares students for the realities of college life—like navigating dorm drama, decoding professor expectations, managing messy group projects, or dealing with that roommate who never does their dishes. These daily stressors can make or break a student’s experience.

In this insightful (and refreshingly real) episode, we’ll explore how self-awareness, conflict resolution, and relationship skills directly impact student stress, retention, and resilience. Whether it’s surviving awkward roommate moments or having hard conversations with faculty, we’ll share practical tools that equip students—and the staff who support them—to thrive socially and emotionally.

Because let’s face it: GPA matters, but so does knowing how to handle a passive-aggressive text about fridge space.
