Empowering and Supporting Families and Students by Building Bridges Through Education
Roots & Wings Higher Education Consulting specializes in guiding families and students through the transition to higher education. Our presentations provide comprehensive support for navigating college life and the changes in family dynamics that accompany this journey. We believe that strong family roots provide the foundation for students to grow, while wings represent the independence they need to soar in higher education. Our presentations guide parents and students through this transformative journey, honoring family connections, values, and beliefs while empowering families and students to thrive academically and personally. We focus on matriculating and enrolled first-generation college students and their families. Our sessions help parents and guardians understand their evolving role in their student’s educational experience, how it differs from the K–12 system, and equip them with strategies to foster success.
Soaring toward success, together.
