Map out your path to an impactful college experience. This course is a small seminar led by the associate dean for student success and five amazing undergraduate student leaders. Students will reflect on their unique strengths and interests and connect with campus opportunities that excite and challenge them. Students will collaborate to discover how to thrive in college.
In addition to this 1-credit seminar, half of the students will be enrolled in PSY 201 and half will be enrolled in J 201. This creates a cohort model where tangible academic tools can be explored within the context of a shared core education course.
