For courses in Student Success or First Year Experience.

His message is memorable; his energy is contagious. Building on Steve Piscitelli's classroom experiences and workshops, his new book Rhythms of College Success: A Journey of Discovery, Change and Mastery focuses on the whole student - both internally and externally. It embraces the power of personal choice and addresses the (sometimes) competing needs of first-year students. Using a universal theme of music, the book offers memorable messages that show how respect, responsibility, reflection, and renewal can fuel student success. Throughout the text, readers are introduced to the 4R's and how these, along with change and life balance, impact one's future and one's success. More than 100 activities, 75 figures and innovative part openers keep students engaged and help them on their own journey of discovery, change and mastery.
