The Head Nod : Black Life at A PWI
Society & Culture
Shandra L. McDonald, DPA, is a student success strategist. But it took a lot to get there, she went through a lot of challenges as a student at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) and University of La Verne (ULV). It's about triumph and overcoming failures, and maybe a little of connecting over her favorite treats that reminded her of home.
Now she's taken her own experiences to help others. She’s passionate about helping college freshman survive and thrive during their first year and beyond. She knows first-hand what it is like to struggle academically as a college freshman but she didn’t give up. Instead, she developed strategies to transform from Clueless to Cum Laude. Her academic journey has inspired her to create Academic Survival: The Podcast that Helps Freshmen Get to Graduation.
