Navigating Student Life Together: Reflective Collective Spring ‘26 Schedule
College is about more than just what happens in the classroom. It’s about navigating the "real world" for the first time—managing budgets, reading leases, and maintaining healthy relationships.
The Reflective Collective is back for the Spring 2026 semester with a series of student-led, peer-to-peer support groups designed to help you tackle these challenges head-on.
Professional Support, Peer Connection
While these discussions are student-led to ensure a comfortable and relatable environment, you aren't alone in the deep end. Every group is peer to peer led, and facilitated by Kristen Kahanek, LMSW, or other licensed faculty members to provide expert guidance and a safe space for everyone involved.
Spring 2026 Schedule of Events
All discussions take place from 4:30 – 5:30 p.m. at F.G. Mouton Hall | Room 307D.
