Time Management

This workshop gives you the tools in order to successfully manage your time in the college environment. In college, you have all the time in the world, and your day looks much different than when you were in high school. During this workshop, you will have the opportunity to fill out a semester plan, as well as an hour by hour calendar, so that you can spend your time wisely.

Study Skills

Come and see how you learn best!! Where are the best places on campus to study? What techniques can you use to really learn the information? Are you a visual learner, or a kinesthetic learner? Perhaps you learn through reading? Come to this workshop and you‚ll learn a lot about the way you learn best and, more importantly, the way you can apply different techniques to your study sessions.

Test Taking

During your time with us, learn various tips and tricks on how to best prepare yourself for that big exam. Find out the best strategies on succeeding on multiple choice questions, get tips on completing essay exams, and figure out how to navigate problem-solving tests. After this workshop, you‚ll be a test-taking whiz!!

Goal Setting

Where will you be in 10 years? How are you going to get there? Sometimes we don‚t stop for long enough to contemplate this question. However, it is the one question that can really drive your goals and actions, helping you to success in all areas of your life. Goal-setting can help you not only define your future, but can also help you in the short-term, whether that‚s in passing your classes or getting involved on campus.
