Beyond the hyper-connectivity of our online lives, we are all tangibly impacted in countless ways by the quality and quantity of our human and institutional connections — the old saying, “It’s not what you know, but who you know, that counts” rings true.
But for many first-generation college students, the struggle to understand the “whats” and to connect with the “whos” can be overwhelming.
Student success author, speaker and entrepreneur Carol J. Carter has been working to address this matter throughout her career. Having been a speaker in the Dominican Republic, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, Kenya, China, Spain and Switzerland and a guest in more than 50 countries, Carter has developed a unique perspective on how institutions of learning, youth development and businesses can prepare students from all backgrounds and levels of learning to thrive in an increasingly complex modern world.
