Resource Articles
Bonnie McGrane
I hope you will be blessed by our Resource Articles. We commissioned experts in the topics to write these articles, and we’re very pleased with the results. These articles cover a variety of topics from visiting campuses for college selection to how to find scholarships for college. There’s also information on the best way to study at college, how to live with a roommate, what to look out for in terms of scholarship scams, preparing for college interviews, and the life skills you need at college. There are articles that are distinctly Christian, although all the articles are written from a Christian viewpoint. Some of the topics of the articles are so huge that it would take an entire book to do them justice…and many people have written books on those subjects. Consider the articles a place to start — to talk to your student, to research, and, in some cases, to look into your heart.
Our experts include were chosen to represent a variety of perspectives. They are:
Neil P. O’Donnell, an academic specialist at an accredited, private college in western New York. He teaches a class in study skills and has a wealth of experience in helping student adapt to college life.
Hanne Moon, mother of two college graduates and an experienced Christian writer.
Debra Walters, a recent college graduate with a fresh perspective on the challenges facing college students today.
Sandy LePere, previously a Christian College Parents staffer, a mother of two, and a former home schooling parent with a background in behavioral sciences.
Blessings,
Bonnie
