Workshops for Academic Enrichment

The Office of Academic Advising in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is pleased to offer workshops for students to enrich their academic experience. These workshops include time management, study skills, and other academic essentials. Time Management is one of the most important components of a student’s academic success. As you make the journey from high school to college, your classroom experience may be drastically different. Study skills are another important area. Many students have to change the way they study once they attend college. The purpose for these programs is to provide ongoing support to enrich your academic experience.
