Haruka Yamashita (Cornell ’90) is a college admissions counselor and host of College Knowledge Webinars.

"Why is the Pandemic so Hard on Young People?"
Sophie McMullen will be presenting on why the pandemic is especially hard on young people. The loss of rituals—graduations, proms, and celebrations—has left many young people searching for closure to important life chapters, while their school plans and career goals suddenly had to change. What can young people do? Researchers recommend practices like mindfully noticing and savoring positive experiences, looking for silver linings, creating new rituals that give you time for reflection, and setting goals and intentions for this uncertain time. Sophie will dive into the research behind why young people are especially struggling during this time, and highlighting some potential protective factors.

Cal Undergraduate Student Panel
A panel of students from a diverse array of majors and backgrounds will share their college experiences. Topics range from work-life balance, stress management, to self-navigation in a large university. An open forum follows.
