I couldn't be more proud to let you know that I have recently launched my first e-book, STEPPING INTO COLLEGE, co-written by my good friend and colleague Diane Elkins.

STEPPING INTO COLLEGE is a primer on many important topics every new college freshman will face. We hatched the idea for this book, because we felt young adults who were excited about leaving the nest would benefit from relevant and pragmatic information about the adjustment process they were about to head into.
Writing this book was a labor of love, because we focused on what would help new college students feel comfortable, confident, focused, eager, and positive. We combined our expertise — Diane's is in workspace organization and sending her own three children to college and mine is in helping students thrive in college and graduate school — to compile solid advice on making the most out of the first year in school. We cover topics such as:
- how simplicity and organization can support academic progress
- how to avoid common freshman year pitfalls, like procrastination and feeling overwhelmed
- ways to develop healthy relationships with new friends while maintaining good ones with family
- ideas for ways to engage in the campus community
- tips for successful time management
- guidance on being mindful of finances and spending habits
- and of course, suggestions for a great dorm room packing list!
We wrote this book with both students and parents in mind. There are many talking points throughout the book that will make for great discussions. We'd love it if you'd consider purchasing a copy for your friends or family members who might be thinking about what's in store for them at college this September. You can also follow STEPPING INTO COLLEGE on Twitter and Pinterest for more helpful ideas for your (or your son's or daughter's) college debut.
Best wishes and thanks! Christine
