Txt-4-Success. T4S is a program to provide students with college counseling via text message. The text messages sent to students serve as general college reminders and advice, such as key deadlines and regular check-ins to make sure students are transitioning well into college life. Students attending one of our partner institutions will receive additional messages specific to their college. Additionally, students who opt-in to the service can text at any time to have any of their college questions answered by a college access advisor. See link below to sign up.
High School Seniors are you looking for a seamless transition to college? Marshall University now has a DIRECT ADMISSION program so all of WV students have a direct access to opportunities. Please see the attached flyer.
Did you know there's a short-term evidence based (proven that it works) therapy for families who are struggling with conflict and communication that also helps reduce risky behaviors in youth? It's called Functional Family Therapy (FFT). It's grant funded so there's no financial barriers. There's a little to no waitlist so service can begin without delay. See the article for more information.
