Collegiate Covey: 7 Habits of Highly Effective College Students

7_habitsDeciding on classes, studying for next week’s finals, choosing a major, and holding down a job to pay for it all. Balancing activities, course work, and social lives. Being away from home and adjusting to a new campus environment. Today’s college students are busy with many demands competing for their time. Are they prepared? Help your students focus on their end in mind. Provide them with the skills to succeed in college and become effective leaders—for life.

Franklin Covey’s 7 Habits workshop—based on Stephen Covey’s best-selling book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People—has transformed the lives of thousands of people worldwide. Now M5 Consulting will offer the same content specifically designed for college students. A Yale University longitudinal study showed that students who start their freshman year with a plan – an end in mind – are much more likely to complete their education and be successful for life. Touching upon several aspects of college life, the Collegiate Covey builds a framework of empowerment and personal responsibility.

  • Uncovering and exploring a personal mission and setting goals
  • Increasing trust levels and proactive behaviors
  • Developing strong relationships with other students and faculty
