Should Parents and Educators Attend?
Absolutely! This year
we've created separate full-day programs for parents
and educators to provide in-depth, world-class
information on how to help their students succeed.
This is the FIRST event in history to bring together
students, parents and educators all in the name of
college success.
Not only are we the
first program in history to comprehensively teach
students how to succeed in college, we’re also the
first to teach their parents how to comprehensively
support their children throughout college. During a
concurrent day-long seminar, our facilitators and
partners at College Parents of America teach
parents:
-
How to
finance college and plan for the long-term
-
How to help their
students study better, prepare for exams, and
cope with stress
-
How to mentor and
motivate their students to live their values in
today’s collegiate social environment
-
How to create closer
relationships with their children – even when
far away from home
-
How to ensure their
children stay safe, healthy and – gasp! –
employed during and after college
Parents attend the
seminar for the same ticket price as students. All
prices listed towards the bottom of this page.
Parents must purchase a ticket if they plan on
entering either the main seminar for students (which
is recommended) or the concurrent full-day seminar
just for parents on Saturday.
We haven’t forgotten the
11,000 student affair professionals from over 1,200
schools who are currently helping develop our
nation’s next generations of leaders. So, we’ve
created another full-day, concurrent seminar
dedicated solely to providing educators networking
opportunities and cutting-edge insights and research
in the areas of student retention, orientation and
development. Educators learn:
-
How to better
involve their students’ parents in the
educational and financial process
-
How effective
community outreach really works
-
How to partner with
other nonprofits and corporations to increase
funding for events
-
How to fund, build,
manage and communicate programs that help
students stay – and succeed in – college and
their early careers
Educators -- which
include any high school and college teacher,
principal, professor, adjunct, or student
development professional -- attend the seminar for
the same ticket price as students. All prices listed
towards the bottom of this page. Educators must
purchase a ticket if they plan on entering either
the main seminar for students (which is recommended)
or the concurrent full-day seminar just for parents
on Saturday.
Not sure if Educator Day
is for you?
Just keep scrolling down and look what
educators at Harvard, The Princeton Review, and The
Center for the Study of College Student Retention
are saying about our program!!
What
happens AFTER
the seminar?
(I've heard rumors you keep on going and going...?)
Yes, the rumors are
true.
In fact, the rumors are exactly why we've won so much media attention and praise from
educators around the world. We don't stop educating
at the end of the seminar
...we keep going and going
until our attendees graduate college.
What are we talking
about?
Simply, we don’t believe in the traditional
model of other student conferences—
an often
ineffective, “catch-and-release” model where
students attend a seminar and then are “let go” into
the world without further support.
Instead, once our student participants have attended our
life-changing seminar, we provide them with
free
continuing education and support throughout their
entire college career. Our alumni receive monthly
newsletters, life coaching tele-seminars, and 24-response
telephone and email support “help lines.”
We're so dedicated to
ensuring our students succeed, we give them all
these BONUSES for FREE, just for attending:
-
Access to 19 of the
best collegiate speakers on the planet
-
Exclusive chances to
win
one

Because we give all
these bonuses and our world-class continuing
education and support to our students, we're the
first program in history able to make an
extraordinary guarantee.....
We GUARANTEE our attendees
will be 100% satisfied...
...AND we GUARANTEE they
will graduate college
OR THEIR MONEY BACK
You heard us right. We
guarantee both satisfaction and graduation. No
questions asked. If a student, parent or educator at
our event is not absolutely blown away at the
quality of our speakers, activities and overall
programming, we'll reimburse their ticket price.
How can we do that?
Because we've already proven ourselves to the
students and parents you read about above. AND we've
proven ourselves to the best educators in the
country, including those at The Princeton Review,
Harvard, Columbia and others.
Just listen to what a few
experts who have participated in our program
have said.

"New college
parents are always surprised to hear how
challenging it is for an incoming freshman
student not only to stay on a four-year
plan, but also to ever even graduate from
college. The College Success Super Summit puts a
line in the sand and gives students and
their parents a focused, achievable set of
goals, along with best-of information from
an incredible group of experts. All at a
very affordable price in a special place
that can provide some lasting family
memories."

"Your
College Success Summit was amazing!
The college where I am employed sent me to
your conference to see what efforts are
being made to improve retention. My
expectations were to attend yet another
conference where I had to sit, listen to
boring presentations, and try to make it
sound exciting when I returned back to
work. Little did I know that your
Summit would impact me so much on both a
personal and professional level. I have
taken the knowledge and motivation that you
and the other speakers gave me and use it on
a daily basis now. It has made a huge
impact on the way I interact with and
motivate the students at the college.”

“There’s no
shortage of resources and programs to help
you get into college. But, once you’re
accepted, you’re left to swim with the
sharks. It’s great to see programs like
The College Success Super Summit taking such an
innovative, holistic approach to helping
students hone the skills they’re going to
need to succeed throughout their college
careers.”

“This is a
much needed event that addresses the
challenges students face in transitioning
between school years, and between
dependence and independence. Brendon
Burchard is the perfect person to host this
seminar—he’s incredibly passionate about
helping students succeed.”

“Students
accepted to college today have no better
chance of graduating then students attending
college twenty years ago. College
student retention and graduation rates have
stayed static over time. The Summit is
designed to give college bound and current
college students the
knowledge and skills necessary to graduate
within a reasonable time. With the
importance of a college education and
escalating college costs

Seidman, Executive Director at
The Center for the Study of College Student
Retention

With comments like
professionals like these, it's no wonder we're the
first program in history to guarantee graduation.
Our four days are intended to change lives, not just
bore students with more information.
We're purposefully
taking the entire student development industry to
the next level.
If you don't believe we're doing
that, then come to our seminar. Watch what we do.
Participate. Learn. Have fun. And if you're not 100%
satisfied, we'll reimburse your ticket price. No
questions asked.
4 full days of life-changing content?
The best collegiate speakers on the planet?
Free continuing education and support?
Chances to win laptops and scholarships?
A 100% satisfaction guarantee?...
...How much does this thing cost anyway?
Did you know that today
the average four-year degree costs students between
$48,508 to $116,104!
But, remember, most
students (62%) take about six years to graduate, so
their bill for college is actually much much more
than that, from $72,762-$174,156!!
Unfortunately, nearly
50% of students are dropping out or failing out of
college these days according to The US Department of
Education, so most of that money goes down the
drain.
With a risk and investment like that, what would students
and parents pay for a seminar that GUARANTEED
students walked away with enough information to
ENSURE they succeeded in college?
What would they pay to
learn all the secrets needed to get good grades,
avoid financial crisis, develop healthy
relationships, feel good about themselves and make a
positive impact in the world?
How much would they spend to learn from (and network
with) the best college educators, speakers,
entrepreneurs and leaders in the country?
What do you think they would pay to protect their
investments in their higher education?
Would they pay thousands of dollars?
In fact, they would. And, trust us, they've offered.
But our founder, Brendon
Burchard, knows that students and parents are
already strapped for cash these days. That's why he
personally financed the first Summit held at Walt
Disney World®
Resort and provided over 50 scholarships to the program for
at-risk youth and lower income families.
That's why he's also challenged our team to actually
LOWER the price of the seminar this year to allow
more students to attend. Brendon has also committed
to matching every
dollar raised from the program to provide
scholarships to at-risk youth, and he's enabled us to donate
the majority of our
revenue to nonprofit organizations.
With such a spirit of contribution driving us,
we've lowered our ticket pricing to just $197
per attendee!
This
ticket price is the same for students, parents and
educators. Just $197 for ANY person attending.
Period.
The ticket price covers tuition for all four
days and all speakers and sessions. Each
attendee must purchase a ticket to gain admittance
to the event. This includes any parent or
educator who wishes to attend. (Parents and
educators who purchase a ticket may attend the
student sessions AND the separate, full-day
concurrent Parent or Educator Day seminars on
Saturday).
Because this price is so low -
which
comes to less than $50 a day! - we do
not offer per day tickets or bulk discounts for
families or educators bringing multiple students.
This price barely covers our costs. We do
this because our goal is to make a difference, not a
buck. As our founder always says, "It's about the
message - helping students succeed - not about the
money."
The
costs of travel, hotel, and meals are not included
in the ticket price.
Where
does this event take place
and when does it start?
The
seminar takes place at Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim,
California. The resort is ideally positioned near
the park with great views, spacious rooms, and
family-friendly entertainment. Students are given a
few hours free time each day so that they can
explore the parks with their family and friends.
(Tickets into the park are not included with the
ticket price to The College Success Super Summit).
We highly recommend each student stays at the
hotel in order to be fully immersed in the
experience, and well-rested each day of the seminar.
So, we've secured a DISCOUNTED ROOM RATE for our
attendees! Discount rates and hotel reservation
information will be sent to you once you register.
The seminar begins at 6 PM
Pacific time on
Thursday.
We encourage you to arrive early in the
afternoon on Thursday. Check-in for the seminar will
be from noon to 6PM on Thursday. Late check-ins and
registrations will not be allowed; we start at 6PM
SHARP, no exceptions. If you arrive after 6PM, you
will find the conference doors closed and you will
not be admitted into the seminar. Why? We don’t want
you to miss our surprise kick-off event!
The seminar ends at 2PM Pacific time on Sunday.
Early departures are not recommended, as we will be
giving away scholarships and prizes all the way up
to 2PM and students MUST be present to win. We
recommend that you schedule your flights for anytime
AFTER 4PM Pacific.
If you would like to arrive early or stay later, you
can. However, you will have to book and pay for any
