College Connectors - Wisconsin

Honoring and remembering those who gave everything for our freedom, and the families who carry that legacy forward.

Wishing you a meaningful Memorial Day.

I am so honored and humbled by this award. I am excited to continue this work through my "Don't Chuck It Up" podcast and YouTube channel.

In this episode of Don’t Chuck It Up, host Chuck addresses the "summer before senioritis" to help high school juniors and their parents navigate the college admissions process with clarity and calm. Chuck deconstructs the myth of the "perfect school," urging families to prioritize college fit and student engagement over prestige and selective rankings. To help listeners prepare, he outlines three essential summer priorities: brainstorming a specific and honest Common App essay, building a balanced college list featuring reach, match, and "likely" schools, and the often-overlooked necessity of rest to prevent burnout. With practical college application tips for managing stress and parental anxiety, this episode serves as a roadmap for finding the right university while maintaining family connections and personal well-being.
