Why is understanding your identity essential for college success? This module explores the crucial transition veterans face when moving from the communal structure of the military to the individual-focused environment of higher education. We examine how identity shifts and the key differences in military and academic cultures.

This module explores the vital role new communities play in fostering success and mental health, and provide tools for finding new communities during the transition from military service to college. Crucially, we redefine "imposter syndrome" as "imposter phenomenon," offering strategies to leverage self-doubt into motivation and growth.

In this module, we challenge conventional ideas about productivity, time management, and the myth of multitasking. Transitioning from the military's strict command structure to the self-directed environment of college requires mastering new skills in attention and time management. We explore why equating productivity with self-worth is dangerous, discuss the concept of "pseudo-working," and introduce Newport's Law (focus intensity x time).

In this module, you will learn how to build your personal MOAT (Methods to Optimize Attention and Time) using practical tools for setting priorities and eliminating distractions.

In this module, we challenge you to think about thinking and how it is central to skill building. We focus on two of the fundamental academic skills necessary for college success—note-taking and analytical reading and explore how one informs the other. You'll learn different note-taking and reading strategies that are immediately applicable to any kind of academic work.

This module considers two additional essential skills for success in college: preparing for exams and writing essays. Learn how to become exam ready by setting yourself up for success well before the exam date. And explore new ways of thinking about essay writing, and how it is tightly connected to the note-taking and analytical reading skills discussed in the previous module.

In this module, we help nontraditional students become informed consumers of higher education by defining your personal "why," determining what to study, and navigating financing options like the GI Bill.

This module dives into the "hidden curriculum"—the unspoken rules of success, focusing on building essential relationships with professors and leveraging vital campus resources like syllabi and support centers.
