Congratulations on your decision to become an Intentional Student (cyber high-five)! I’m happy to have you here and excited to journey with you up the intentional path to college success.
Whether you’re here because you’re about to begin college, had a not-so-successful first semester, are looking to enhance the success you’ve already experienced, or are an education professional, you’ll find the information and resources you need to help you or your students develop a purposeful and deliberate approach to college and to life beyond the classroom walls.

Aim for intention with the right skills, habits and attitude.
This intentional approach involves the development of portable skills, habits, and attitudes that will lead you to academic and life success. To be sure, when you leave college, you need to be armed with more than just a degree. You will also need skills, habits, and attitudes that will help you achieve professional and personal success–and you may not get these through your traditional college experience.
The process to becoming an Intentional Student is provided through short informative and actionable blog posts that explain how to implement particular actions and behaviors and develop useful attitudes and perspectives.
So why is The Intentional Student a necessary resource for you? Because academics is only part of the success equation, and this site will help you complete your success equation. You can interact with me and other students through my blog, or you can contact me directly via twitter @melissahudler or the contact form below. I look forward to hearing from you!
Are you ready?. . . Get set. . . Go intentional!
