Description
Let's tone up for school! Tomorrow finishes off our "Get 'Shreddy'" series and just like any workout schedule-- you can drop in and out of these quick, 20 min. sessions based on your targeted needs!
Whether you’re a new first-year or transfer student or a seasoned upperclassman, we’re sure you’ll be able to find a helpful info session somewhere in our lineup! All sessions will be hosted by your CNMS Advising Student Success Team unless indicated otherwise. Here's the WEDNESDAY 8/21 schedule and descriptions of each event. All events will be hosted in the same WebEx space - just click the link to join at any time you wish! Each session will last 20-25 minutes.
10:00 - TLC Transformation
The Learning Collaboratory is our big workshop and group study space in the University Center - UC115, to be precise! Join us to learn about all the amazing programming we host in this space, from study halls to practice tests to weekly success workshops.
10:30 - Academic Mindfulness
One thing it's really important to keep in mind: you need to take care of it! (Your mind, that is.) Christine Powers, our CNMS Assistant Director for Student Success, will take you through some ways to decompress from some deep studying, consider your nerves and anxieties, and keep your mental health in check, including campus resources.
11:00 - First Week Fitness
Sit in the front of class. Introduce yourself to the person sitting next to you. Read your syllabi, etc. There are simple things you should be doing in the first week of classes that can make BIG difference later in the semester!
11:30 - Science Career Sculpt
Learn about all the ways the Career Center can serve you during your time on campus! We'll cover internships, job search process, and the types of jobs you can get with a STEM degree from UMBC.
12-1 - Lunch Break!!
1:00 - Graduation Marathon Planning
It really is a marathon to get to the end of your undergraduate degree! And, just like a 26.2-mile race, this will take a LOT of careful planning to reach your end goals. We'll talk pathways, requirements, and how to make sure you're set for success here.
1:30 - Academic HIIT
Much like High Intensity Inverval Training at the gym, it's a technique you can use while studying to help you make the most out of your limited time. Learn about how to use the Pomodoro Method and why it's so effective for learning!
2:00 - Science Muscle Mechanics
There's a LOT that goes into being a scientist! In this session, we'll cover the importance of different competencies to develop that aren't necessarily just 'know all the stuff' - resilience, the scientific method, and more!
2:30 - Research Revolution
Interested in getting involved in on-campus research in a professor's lab? We'll go over how to get a coveted spot in a lab, what you'd be doing on a day-to-day basis in an on-campus lab, and why it's so important.
