Destination 青年涩导航 Advising and Registration Program Returns

Destination 青年涩导航 has returned! The summer advising and registration program at 青年涩导航 is a one-and-a-half-day experience that includes an overnight stay in a residence hall. Students are encouraged to invite family members and guests to participate in the program.

Family members and guests learn about essential tools for a positive college experience, such as financial aid, academic success tips and support skills for being the parent/family member of a college student.

The program concludes on the second day when the students meet one-on-one with an academic advisor to create an academic plan.
