Teaching for nearly 40 years, Malcolm Gauld has watched thousands of high school graduates head off to college. After a while, he began to notice some unmistakable patterns - good and bad - relating to students after they hit college. About a decade ago, he began giving an annual talk to high school seniors in hopes of sending them off to college on a positive note. This led to the book College Success Guaranteed: 5 Rules to Make it Happen (Rowman Littlefield, 2011). Since writing the book, many parents have asked for tips on how they might optimize their son or daughter's college experience.
