Dave truly fills a crucial and sorely ignored gap for many high schoolers who are transitioning to college. He gave my student actionable advice and strategies from maximizing classroom success to navigating on- and off-campus learning and work opportunities, all customized to my student's school and goals. Dave's deep experience in higher education, together with his ease and candor in communicating essential college-specific nuances with a high schooler, presents an invaluable resource for both parents and students at this important juncture. My student is grateful to have such a mentor as he journeys through college and beyond.
