Success Workshops -- Spring 2009

Plans have begun to create a "one-stop" Success Center to support students outside of the classroom. The Success Center would house peer tutoring, supplemental instruction, English activity and drop-in labs, and a space for workshops on a variety of topics, including MLA citations, financial aid, textbook reading strategies, time management, preparation for the Composition Mastery Exam, and Learning Resources 10. The Success Center is seen as one of two really key components in our overall re-design, the other being the Pathways to Success First and Second Semester Experience Program. Here is a link to the overall structure of our re-design.

Here is a link to the Spring 2009 schedule of LR10 workshops, which are open to anyone working on research, not just the students enrolled in the English 1/LR 10 sections.

Here is a link to a survey about what workshops faculty, staff, and managers would like to see offered, and here is a link to the preliminary analysis from that survey.

A Non Credit Working Group has been created to address a number of issues to help make these workshops a reality and allow for the collection of Non Credit and Non Credit Enhanced funding for them. Here is where information about this group's activities can be found.
