Third Culture Kids Transitioning Successfully for University

Presented by Tina Quick

Thursday, June 28, 2012 at 1 PM EST

About the Webinar

This webinar will review the Third Culture Kid (TCK) profile with an emphasis on how their lives differ in comparison to domestic peers. It will look at the skills and benefits that arise from a globally mobile childhood as well as the challenges TCKs face when stepping out of the third culture where they enjoyed shared experience with others. It will introduce the “Four Pearls” of college transition – the four most common stumbling blocks to a successful adjustment. And lastly, it will help parents, educators, counselors and others understand how they can prepare and support global nomads in their upcoming college/university transitions.
