"Global Grad has really helped me maximize my time and get the most out of my college years. It has taught me not to overcommit myself but just dedicate time to a few groups." Jennifer Stackitch, Sophomore
"College was both an exciting and a scary experience for both me and my parents. Global Grad helped calm that anxiousness and really helped me lay out a plan for college. I was going into unknown territory and Global Grad was my map. It was my most helpful resource when preparing for college. It explained experiences I would have in college and how to properly deal with these experiences. When asked to describe Global Grad to a friend I would say Global Grad assisted me in preparing for the next stage of my life as an independent individual. As I mentioned before, Global Grad was my road map. Global Glad truly helped me get a grasp of the college life before I had to experience it. I'm glad I had access to it, so thank you." Jordan Howard, Freshman

“Global Grad made me realize that unlike in the past, simply acquiring a college degree is not enough to get a good job.

From the "Why Didn't Global Grad Exist When I Was in College?" Crowd
"My sophomore year was critical. This was the time period that I could have used help in making a decision on my major. I wish I would have been better informed in seeking out a “major” that would be applicable to the job market for today. It seemed that my advisor as an undecided major was wonderful and then I shifted to an advisor that did not have the time of day. I believe the information that you provide through Global Grad will help parents & students with their choices."
--Anna M., College Graduate
"I think that your Global Grad materials are amazing. The Freshman Year (resources) really hit home for me. Like many people, that's when I struggled the most and would have loved to have had this extra support and game plan set in place."
--Allison, Graduate of a private university
