Being a non-traditional student comes with a unique set of challenges—and strengths. Whether you’re returning to school after time away, balancing education with work or family, or entering college for the first time later in life, this session is for you. Join us for a real conversation about how to navigate higher education with confidence, tap into your resilience, and leverage your lived experience as a superpower. We’ll share practical strategies, campus resources, and stories to remind you: your journey may look different—but it’s powerful, and it matters.
