Welcome to Revive Scholars Collective

Hello everyone, and welcome! My name is LaTasha Willingham, and I am so excited that you are here.

I am currently a high school counselor and a student at Mount Mary University, where I am pursuing my dual master’s degree in School Counseling and Professional Therapy. I have been working as a school counselor for the past four years, supporting high school students as they prepare for their futures beyond graduation.

Through my work with students, I have noticed that many students—especially first-generation college students—often struggle with the transition from high school to college. This transition can feel overwhelming, confusing, and sometimes isolating for both students and their families.

Because of this, I created Revive Scholars Collective.

This community was created to provide support, guidance, and a safe space for students and families navigating the transition from high school to college. Whether you are a first-generation student or come from a family with college experience, this space is designed to help you feel supported along your journey.

Within this community, we will:

Share resources and information

Provide encouragement and accountability

Discuss challenges that come with the college transition

Support one another through academic and personal growth

Build a community where no one feels alone in the process

The goal of Revive Scholars Collective is to create a space where students and families feel comfortable asking questions, sharing experiences, and receiving guidance during this important season of life.

I truly believe that education can change lives, and sometimes the right support system makes all the difference.

Again, welcome to Revive Scholars Collective. I look forward to growing and supporting one another together.

Let’s get to know each other!
