Book Synopsis



Thriving in College: Ten Real World Lessons for College Success is a practical guide for students, families, and institutions committed to seeing college through to graduation. Too often, higher education celebrates enrollment as if it were the finish line, while overlooking the real challenge: persistence. This book bridges that gap, showing what it truly takes to thrive in college, not just start.

Drawing on years of experience in student affairs, scholarship management, and program leadership, author Rasheem Rooke shares lessons learned from working directly with students and universities across the country. Each chapter blends student stories with actionable strategies, covering everything from the first ninety days of college, money management, and building networks, to leadership, mental health, resilience, and preparing for graduation.

The book is structured in four natural progressions:

Laying the Foundation (first year strategies, money management, networks)

Growing Skills and Balance (leadership, aid realities, work life balance)

Sustaining Success (mental health, experiential learning, resilience)

The Ultimate Outcome (graduation, persistence, and transformation)

More than a guide, Thriving in College also includes a Study Guide of discussion and reflection questions with five per chapter, designed for personal use, family conversations, mentoring sessions, and group workshops. This makes it not only a book to read, but a resource to apply.

Whether you are a student preparing to enter college, a family supporting a loved one, or an institution shaping the future of higher education, this book provides a roadmap for success. Enrollment may open the door, but persistence carries students through, and graduation changes everything.
