The North Shore Teen Initiative (NSTI) recently hosted the first event in a series that will connect current NSTI participants and alumni who are now in college. The NSTI Alumni College Panel told stories and offered advice to the dozen high school juniors and seniors who were in attendance.

As NSTI alumni Rachel Grosz from Marblehead explained, “It was a great experience helping those who needed advice on stressful college decisions.I hope my stories and answers to their questions make their college process a little bit easier.”

NSTI Director Adam Smith said, “Our alums have worked hard to find colleges and programs that fit their needs. They were more than happy to share their experiences with current NSTI kids in casual and honest conversations. We’re excited to expand on these conversations in our next alumni event later this spring.”
