Educational Outreach Workshops are designed to help students with their academic development during the transition to college. The workshops utilize an interactive learning format to provide students with a combination of information and strategies for implementing skills into daily life.
Workshops focus on a variety of skills!!!
Currently, the FYE staff members present on topics such as: motivation and goal setting, time management, and academic advising and registration. We are always open to developing new workshops based on specific needs of students.
