Ten years ago this month, I was wrapping up my senior year of college: turning in my thesis, saying goodbye to good friends
 and realizing that I probably should have started applying for jobs back in January.

I got lucky.  Through a connection made the previous summer, a dream job fell into my lap.  2012’s newly minted college graduates might not be so lucky – a recently released study says that half of recent college graduates are either unemployed or underemployed. It’s tough, reading statistics like that, to wax poetic about the importance of a college education – and yet, that’s exactly what I’m about to do.

Our latest round-up of links and articles features a number of issues that are very important to the Educational Alliance, our clients and staff: saving child care and after school programs for low-income families; the growing homeless population in New York City (and how we can help); and the experience of becoming a new parent.

Did you know that over 47,000 children in New York City could lose access to child care and after-school programs next year?  Mayor Bloomberg’s proposed budget includes major cuts to these services — including a 62% reduction in Out of School Time (OST) after-school programs in Manhattan.  As a provider of these crucial programs, we support the Campaign for Children to help raise awareness of these devastating cuts.

The Other Side of College Applications: College Advisors!

“There is light at the end of the tunnel!” I often find myself repeating this to our College Prep high school seniors in the midst of college application season, just at the moment when the pressures of school work, college applications, and everything else in their lives becomes overwhelming.

Words of encouragement come easy to most college advisors, and I doubt anyone would be surprised that much of our time is spent in motivation mode.  What we often don’t consider, however, is how much college advisors need this type of encouragement and long-term perspective as well. Like our students, we are caught up in essays and deadlines from September to May. The luxury of knowing the warmth of the “light” at the end of this long journey does not spare us from the stress of the season.
