Summer Success Workshops

Happy summer, Retrievers! We have a variety of VIRTUAL events planned with our CNMS advisors and lots of awesome guests this summer. Check out our upcoming offerings below and look for our weekly reminders on myUMBC and Instagram.

All of our events during the semester take place on Tuesdays from 2-3 PM in WebEx. Check out our myUMBC posts and Instagram posts for links to the virtual events! If you’re not a member, you can find the CNMS Advising myUMBC Group here.

Tuesday, August 11: The LA Playbook” with Chemistry Learning Assistants

Many of you are taking CHEM101 or 102 this fall, so we’re bringing you tips and tricks right from the source: your undergraduate learning assistants! These students have taken the class before and will be helping out in your SI PASS sections, discussions, and even sometimes as tutors. They know how to do well in the courses, and they want to pass along this amazing insider info to the incoming class!

 

Tuesday, August 18: “White Coats Start Here” Town Hall with Pre-Health Advising and your CNMS Advising Success Team

Got questions about medicine or dentistry? We’re here for you! We’ll be joined by Melissa Huselton, our first- and second-year pre-health advisor, to discuss requirements, best practices, and other things to keep in mind as you begin your pre-health journey at UMBC. Even if you can’t think of specific questions, you’re welcome to join and listen in.

 

Week of August 17-21: “STEM Sprint Bootcamp” on our CNMS Advising YouTube channel!

This one is simple: just five days of YouTube playlists containing short, helpful videos about the transition to college. Some will be our own CNMS Success videos, while others will be from channels we love to recommend. Check your email for our daily myUMBC posts this week!
