For five years, Bold Excellence has helped teens and families move through college planning with clarity, confidence, and purpose — and seen students go on to thrive at universities across the region. This summer, that guidance comes to you live on Zoom.
Each session stands on its own, so families can join the topics that matter most — or commit to the full journey and save with the Series Pass. Sessions run Sundays, 6:00 PM ET.
Relevant Career Professionals Often Present · RSVP Survey Due July 5
For high school and college students
Sessions are scheduled 6:00–9:00 PM ET; most run about two hours. All registration is handled securely through Luma.
We start with who a student is and what they believe — so every college and career decision is built on a foundation of purpose, not pressure.
The career session pairs students with working professionals matched to their interests — practical insight you can't get from a brochure.
Three years of summer college coaching, with students who've gone on to Virginia Union, North Carolina Central, and Norfolk State — and the skills to thrive once they arrive.
Bold Excellence was born from a simple conviction: every student deserves a guide who believes in their potential and knows how to help them reach it. For five years, that's been the work — sitting with teens and families, untangling the college process, and helping young people step into their next chapter with confidence.
That coaching is grounded in a life spent in and around education. Our founder holds a doctorate from the University of Michigan, a master's from Harvard University and an undergraduate degree from Rochester Institute of Technology. Her career spans both industry and research, and today she serves as a university professor and researcher mentoring students of her own.
That blend of academic depth and real-world experience is exactly what families get at Bold Excellence: someone who understands the system from the inside, and who cares about the person navigating it.
Start with a free session and see the difference for yourself. Registration takes about two minutes through our secure Luma page.
