- **Event Description**: This workshop offers parents of 8th –10th graders a clear roadmap for supporting their child in developing a strong academic foundation.About this EventThe college admissions landscape is evolving, and families often wonder how early they should begin preparing and what truly matters. This workshop offers parents of 8th–10th graders a clear, practical roadmap for supporting their child in developing a strong academic foundation and a meaningful personal story.Using our Core &amp; Contribution Framework, we’ll explore what colleges look for today, how a student’s narrative naturally forms over time, and the small, age-appropriate steps students can take to discover interests, build confidence, and make authentic contributions in their communities.Parents will learn how to encourage curiosity, guide healthy exploration, and foster independence without pressure, overplanning, or comparison. Families will leave with a grounded understanding of how to help their students grow into capable, reflective young adults whose stories shine both in high school and in the college application process.Presented by: Sheila PatelSheila Patel is the Founder and CEO of Gotham Scholars Inc., a nonprofit dedicated to expanding educational equity and empowering high-potential public high school students through rigorous academic enrichment, mentorship, leadership development, and college access support.A graduate of Northwestern University, Sheila began her career as a leader in management consulting at Ernst &amp; Young, advising Fortune 500 companies on strategy, customer experience and organizational development.
