This keynote presentation, led by Dr. Amanda Sterk, introduces students and families to College UnMazed, a research-informed approach to navigating the college process. Dr. Sterk outlines practical tools and strategies designed to help students make confident, well-informed decisions about higher education. The session highlights the six keys of college fit: academic, financial, career, personal, support, and outcomes, while also emphasizing the importance of data-driven decision making, self-assessments, and college readiness planning. Viewers will learn how to explore college options, narrow their choices, apply effectively, and develop a success plan tailored to their individual strengths and goals.
The presentation is especially helpful for high school students, parents, and educators seeking to understand better the college admissions landscape and how to align choices with both personal and academic priorities.
