Guided Pathways to SuccessPerspectives from Indiana College Students and Advisors

“I actually like that approach because I’ve had the days where I go to class for an hour, and then I have two hours off. Well, I really don’t want to drive home just to drive all the way back. …I could go into a job and say, “…I can come in at one thirty or two o’clock and work with you guys.” I think employers would appreciate that more because I’ve actually missed out on a couple of jobs because of my school schedule.” -- Student
