Adrian Grant and Marvin Thomas
New York, NY (BlackNews.com) - In a recent report released by the American Council on Education college enrollment amongst minorities has increased to more than 4.3 million students from 1991 to 2001. However dropout rates have consistently remained higher amongst this particular group of students. With overwhelming pressure to balance coursework, choosing a career, internships, and the never-ending struggle of paying the escalating costs of college, it's easy for most to lose site of the end goal - especially if they are unprepared.
Two student leaders - Adrian Grant and Marvin Thomas - at America's most popular school, New York University, has now authored STUDENTS OF LIFE to equip these, and all students, with tools that will not just enable them to get a diploma but also tap innate potential to get most out of themselves for a lifetime.
In STUDENTS OF LIFE, Grant and Thomas documents realistic techniques, from the much unheard of students perspective, on how to maximize the collegiate experience and attain self-defined success. Furthermore, keeping along with one of its underlying themes, a portion of proceeds will be donated to charitable organizations. Mens empowerment expert and Author of Reclaim Your Power! Terrance Dean comments, For all searching for college success, this book is a must read, as it will guide students in developing a strong sense of self-awareness, providing useful and practical tools for their improvement not only in school, but also in life.
STUDENTS OF LIFE will help readers to:
* Develop a proactive as opposed to reactive attitude
* Tap the potential within
* Attain the mindset needed to quickly setup and execute goals
* And much much more!
Renowned for their President Service Award winning Student Enrichment for Academic Development program (S.E.A.D.) at NYU, Grant and Thomas now bring to the masses a book based on the core principles on which they founded their numerous award winning organization. Along with Directing the S.E.A.D. program Adrian and Marvin have been panelists and guest speakers on topics ranging from student development to entrepreneurship at many events including: the Bank of America Youth Entrepreneur Expo; the NYSSA Minority Outreach Program; and NYU's Issues, Challenges, and Triumphs Conference to name a few.
