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.
