College is a challenging and unstructured environment that can be difficult to navigate. Some basic things such as how you learn, time management, involvement on campus and finding ways to relax are a few easy ways to make college more manageable. The Student Counseling Center (SCC) is offering a new class to help students work on the all too common difficulty of not succeeding in college. This is NOT therapy, but an opportunity to learn some new skills.
The MAXIMIZING YOUR COLLEGE SUCCESS CLASS is an open class allowing STUDENTS, FACULTY, and STAFF to come to any or all of the scheduled classes. The classes are designed to be experiential, discussion oriented, and training oriented. The class will be on WEDNESDAYS from 5:00pm – 5:45pm in the Student Wellness Center, Room 205. The below “syllabus” describes the dates of the class and different topics for each.

“Introduction” (Katie Brown, Ph.D.)
This overview will provide a foundation for maximizing your success in college. The workshop will include a brief description of the College Learning Effectiveness Inventory (CLEI) which will help identify areas of strength and growth. This workshop will also prepare you with what to expect from the other sessions in the workshop.
