A's for Everyone: Acing the College Experience, now available on Amazon.com, should be included as an orientation reading assignment prior to moving into the dorm. That's the takeaway from parents who had opportunity to preview the new release co-authored by Pepperdine instructor and entertainment attorney Jon Pfeiffer and Amanda Salz, recent Pepperdine grad.
It was a request from a parent of a high school graduate to counsel her son on what to expect in college that inspired Pfeiffer to write the guidebook. He practices law in Santa Monica, Calif. and teaches Media Law addressing First Amendment issues, defamation, privacy (intrusion, private facts, false light and the right of publicity) and copyright matters.
"Preparing for college can result in a flux of intense emotions-from excitement, to nervousness, to insecurity about whether or not they're actually ready," said Pfeiffer. "These feelings are normal and, for most, inevitable."
Pfeiffer and Salz provide tips students won't get from their high school guidance counselors. By following the simple checklist system, incoming students will stay organized, avoid potential pitfalls and embark on the path to becoming star college students. The book doesn't stop short at freshman year; instead it offers proactive advice applicable for the entire four-year experience, a full view of what to expect and guidance on how to react.
