The recording of this event is located above, and you can find more tips here.

Transitioning to online learning is really, really tough. It’s a whole new way of learning, and we’re all learning how to do it at the same time! But we’re gonna get through it– and Professor Kung will help you to do so! Join her next Thursday, September 3, at 7PM EST to learn how to succeed in classes, talk about strategies, get questions answered, hear about what techniques have been shown to be effective in this strange and unusual realm of online learning. 

Come join us here on WebEx next Thursday! Hope to see you there!

Penguin Motivational GIF from Penguin GIFs

Come join Director Kung and get motivated! This is a weird and extremely tough time, and a lot of folks are struggling with motivation – and that’s okay! We want to get behind you and push you forward in whatever way we can. You can come regularly and set specific goals (just like having a “workout buddy” can make it harder to skip going to the gym, having someone to check in with weekly can help with motivation and accountability!), or just come to spitball assignment ideas or chat.
So join us on Mondays from 4-5 PM EST at this link and get MOTIVATED!
