Title of Workshop: Freshman Reception in the Center for Academic Advisement
Category of Workshop: Academic Enrichment
Date/Time of Workshop: 9/17/09 12:30-2:30 pm
Description of Workshop & its Goals: For freshman to get to meet one another in a social environment, while at the same time we were able to have our questions answered by the academic advisors.
I chose this workshop because I was interested in hearing what the academic advisors had to say. I’m a new student and need as much advising as possible. I don’t want to make any mistakes out of ignorance that are easily aviodable. I wouldn’t say that this workshop “took me out of my comfort zone” but there were a lot of people there- something that I am still getting used to coming from a very small high school.
The workshop is what you make of it. If you want to be social and meet new people, its perfect for that. If you want academic advisement its also good for that. The academic advisors rock.
I learned a lot from the workshop, and even met a few new people. The academic advisors are nice, not scary at all and they are really willing to help you.
