My name is Alex Valaitis and I'm committed to helping college students find the resources and information they need to succeed in college and land their dream job after graduation.
I am the author of the book 'Modern College' and currently a Product Manager at LinkedIn. On this website, you can find helpful resources such as my blog, online videos and more.
The purpose of college has never been more unclear than it is today, but I am confident that with the right information, you can find success.
