Your School Produces
Excellent Graduates.
Your Alumni Do
Not Just Graduate.
They Come Back.
The students who thrive in college remember the school that prepared them for all of it, not just the academics. They become the alumni who give, who send their children back, who champion the institution. TGG builds the emotional intelligence that drives that kind of loyalty.
The Team That Finds TGG
Is Looking for This.
You spend $40,000 to $70,000 per student preparing them academically for college. Excellent faculty. Rigorous curriculum. Strong college counseling. And somewhere in the first semester of freshman year, students who were among your strongest graduates are quietly struggling with the emotional demands of an environment they were academically but not emotionally prepared for. The work your school put in is not paying off at the rate it should.
TGG builds into your school's college counseling infrastructure the one element that changes the downstream outcome: a clinical map of how each student is wired emotionally before college tests it. The EI Assessment and Communication Mapping profile give every student the self-knowledge that no orientation, no advisor, and no amount of test prep provides.
Alumni donor counts declined for the fourth consecutive year in 2025. The donors disappearing are predominantly younger graduates whose enrollment experience did not build a lasting institutional bond. The strongest predictor of alumni giving is not income or grades. It is sense of belonging during enrollment. College Edge builds the emotional intelligence that builds belonging. Belonging builds alumni donors.
A year from now, your Class of 2026 is persisting in college at a measurably higher rate. The alumni pipeline you will count on in 2044 is being built right now by the students whose first-semester experience felt different because they knew themselves before they arrived. Your Head of School walks into the capital campaign meeting knowing that the emotional intelligence investment made five years ago is now showing up in the donor data.

From a Head of School.
"My leadership team has used more from this professional development than any others they have taken in the past few years. God created all of us uniquely, but we often struggle knowing how to communicate with each other. Dr. Thurman led our team through personality understandings, book studies, and personal meetings."
"After going through the training with Dr. Thurman, I was not only more aware of myself, but more importantly, my colleagues and their needs and preferences. Our team grew closer as we understood each other better and established stronger connections between individuals and departments."
