First Impressions

We are thrilled to have Ms. Harris back in class this week to present the First Impressions exercise to our students.  This activity helps us to explore various stereotypes that we hold and discuss how we came to develop certain perceptions of various identity groups.  In the past this class has been very popular with the students, so we look forward to it each year!

Students will also be sending their mid-semester check-in email to their mentors this week. 

Career Development

After a short recess for fall break and advising, we are back in M100 class this week.  Mr. Brian Newton, Director of Career and Graduate Development, will be working with the students on enhancing their resume.  Once the resumes are polished, students will be sending them to their professional mentors for review.  Students are also turning in their Reality Check assignment this week.  This activity requires them to review their grades up until midterm to approximate their current semester GPA.  This allows advisors to know if any students are experiencing academic difficulty and plan interventions as needed.

Happy Fall Break!

This week is fall break, so M100 classes are cancelled.  We are in the process of grading SNG Event Reflections, and it sounds like many exciting activities have already taken place this semester!  After fall break, students will be heading into midterms and advising for the Spring 2012 semester.  I can hardly believe we are halfway through the term.  Happy fall!
