Academic Strategy Workshop updates during COVID-19
Building the skills required for success in college does not happen overnight. Getting to know yourself as a learner is the first step towards achieving success. Academic Strategy Workshops provide you with self-assessments as well as practical tools and techniques you can use in your coursework.
We offer a variety of workshops you can request for friends, classmates, student organizations or yourself. Complete an Academic Strategy Workshop Request Form, and a member of the Learning Commons staff will reachout with details on how to meet virtually.
