This is the first issue of Think College Transition Student Profiles. This publication tells the story of Rachel, a student at Holyoke Community College in Massachusetts. Rachel and her team did some person-centered planning to determine what Rachel’s goals were, and then the Rachel worked closely with an academic advisor to be sure her goals were met. This profile highlights the positive results that can come from collaborative planning and supports between college, local school district, and service providers.
