Created by Andrea Malkin Brenner, PhD, and building on the experiences of faculty, staff, and families, Talking College™ cards provide prompts for the most important pre-college discussions about "adulting."

The deck includes 279 conversation prompts covering 11 different themes: The Big Questions, Family Expectations, Money, Safety, Health, Academics, Spirituality, Self-Care, Drugs and Alcohol, Getting Involved, and Relationships.

Every theme in the Talking College™ deck consists of three types of discussion prompts: those to be led by the parent/guardian; those to be led by the college-bound student; and those where the dialogue should be co-led.
