Beyond the Tassel
Beyond the Tassel is a weekly podcast hosted by education equity advocate and community engagement champion, Craig Williams, featuring insider tips to help families and students prepare for the transition from high school to college or other post-secondary intentions. College isn’t for everyone but, on average, about two out of every three kids choose to go to college. Our mission is to help kids make the most of that process, providing tools and insights to gain admission to the schools of their choice and to help parents with strategies to make college more affordable. Through this podcast, our local community engagement efforts, and our website, journey12.com, we hope to enhance the odds of young people finding a successful fit with their post-secondary transition process. Your kids are just as smart and hardworking as kids anywhere, and on our podcast, we strive to level the playing field for your students as they ramp up for their chosen post-secondary intentions, including military, the trades, family business, college, and the world of work. Episodes drop every week. Subscribe to always have access to the latest insights.

Ramping-up for the college application process is part preparation, part inspiration, and part anxiety navigation. This week, we discuss the steps of a solid application, the keys to making the most of each of them, and the importance of keeping your eyes on your own work, of being somewhat circumspect or even private about your progress toward admissions to your dream school. You’ll find supplemental content at our website, journey12.com.
