March and April SkillShops

March 28, 2017

This semester there are dozens of SkillShops offered on academic, professional and personal topics. What SkillShop will you attend before the end of the semester?

SkillShops are 50 minute drop-in workshops that introduce or develop skills in one of five areas:

  • College and Study Skills
  • Technology and Digital Media
  • Leadership and Career
  • Personal Growth
  • Finding and Using Information

You are welcome to register and attend SkillShops or encourage your students to attend. Facilitators of SkillShops encourage discovery, social connection, and supportive learning environments for everyone.
