Welcome to CTG!
Welcome to the College Transition Group!
CTG is dedicated to making success in college more likely, especially for students who haven’t had all of the advantages. Current rates of college graduation hover around 50% within four years of entering; and for those who do make it to the top of Commencement, they often could have transitioned more wisely.
Knowledge about what college actually entails and requires ahead of time provides the college-bound both the time and the space to prepare properly. Getting a head start is crucial to success.
The book, “On The Edge: Transitioning Imaginatively To College,” is a crucial start to the journey. The Academics, Career Planning, Finding a Good Fit of College, Adjustment Difficulties/Mental Health, The Party Scene, Relationships, and Wellness, all have their own chapters using climbing to the peak of college graduation as the theme. I mean, who doesn’t love the mountains!
CTG also hosts innovative small group seminars and 1-1 college and career planning consultation, and CTG’s founder Dr. Eric Bierker (Ph.D. from Temple University in Educational Psychology, researching college preparation and transition issues in-depth) has a broad background of presenting these ideas to interested students, parents, and fellow professionals. Working as a high school counselor for three decades as well as working as a college Outreach Counselor at Millersville University gives me the expertise to help you!
