Summer is almost here - and for some, it’s already begun! Summer is a great time to start thinking about and preparing for college. Our website, as well as the Think Higher. Think College. website has tons of resources to help you get a jump start on getting ready for college.
IEP Goals

Extended School Year (ESY)? Include College Exploration
Teachers can start to Think Higher and Think College this summer by incorporating college exploration into their ESY curriculum! We have tons of resources for teachers and transition specialists on our website.
Visit A College Campus
Summer is a great time to visit college campuses and take a self-guided tour! Colleges are typically quieter and far less crowded during the summer. Plan a day to take your student to walk around and even just get a feel for what a college campus can feel like - whether it is a larger campus that is its own destination or a campus right in the city. You can find programs near you by using our college search!
There are lots of ways you can begin to include college into the plan for your student’s future this summer, and we’re here to help. Visit www.thinkhighered.net to view all of our resources, or reach out to us at thinkcollegeTA@umb.edu!
