This August, 60+ student leaders gathered in NYC for our annual Head Advising Fellow Leadership Summit! There, Matriculate’s leaders discussed best practices for building campus and Fellowship community, and created data-driven strategies to support the newest cohort of Advising Fellows. Many of our student leaders also led their own learning sessions! With an alumni panel, facilitation workshop, LinkedIn session, and interview practice, Head Advising Fellows learned how to bring their Matriculate experience into the next stage of their college and career. Are you a college student interested in joining this group of leaders? Our application to become an Advising Fellow is now OPEN! Learn more: https://buff.ly/3WTnnhe

"Every meeting, my advisor and I would share what has been going on with our lives and just talk about the present and the future which I think is so powerful. I was able to watch my advisor experience college, a life that I will soon have, while talking about my own experience. At the same time, it allowed myself to find what I truly loved about an institution and how I would see myself fit in different scenarios." Jenna, Harvard University '28 #CollegeBound #ClassOf2024

"When being named a QuestBridge National Match Finalist and realizing how many schools I had ranked (15/15) and seeing how many applications I would have to write, overwhelmed is an understatement to what I was going through. But Manuela said, organize it and start grouping them by prompt to see which ones are similar. Soon enough it was all organized and I can’t believe I did all 15 applications in about a week and a half. Going down to the wire my advisor was still awake at 11:59 when I was submitting the last couple. I cannot thank her enough for all the support and I will never forget that." Diego, Northwestern University '28 #CollegeBound #ClassOf2024

"Alia is an amazing mentor; she is very skilled with researching colleges, their options, and being able to explain it all to me. Plus, the essay writing process was smoother with her by my side. She always provided insightful comments that helped stimulate my content. Very grateful to be matched with her as my mentor!" Andrea, Brown University '28 #CollegeBound #ClassOf2024

Our session features three Head Advising Fellows from The University of Texas at Austin - Lauren Campbell, Rhea Lazar, and Katie Jones - who will discuss how near-peer advising can bridge the college knowledge gap. The panel is moderated by Kristen Altman, Sr. Associate at Matriculate (AF ‘22 / Williams College). Read the proposal, share it within your networks, and vote to see our student leaders in Austin this March! Vote here: https://lnkd.in/e3hj724g #SXSWEDU

"Meeting with my Advising Fellow was a wonderful experience. He helped explore areas of interest with regard to clubs, sports, and all extracurriculars. He also helped me develop an extremely solid college list and develop my college essay. Meeting with them weekly was always a blast! It was a great time to relax and hang out with someone new, even if it was online. It was also a great way to constantly remind me to stay proactive with my college work because he would always help me encourage me to stay on top of my work." Jean, Princeton University '28 #CollegeBound #ClassOf2024
