CAHSS Town Hall Learn about resources available to you!

Hi everyone, 

We invite you to the CAHSS College Senate Town Hall on Friday, October 24th, from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM in Commons 331. This event is open to all CAHSS students, faculty, and staff, providing an opportunity for the college community to come together and discuss topics that matter to us.

The conversation will cover campus academic resources, access to research funding and scholarships, mental health and wellness, and academic accountability. Your input and questions will help us talk, and this is a space where we would like to hear directly from you.

We'll have pizza and beverages available, so come by with a friend, enjoy some food, and take part in the conversation.

We are excited to see you there.

Reposting!

View the original posts October 2 and October 7.

The Office for Academic & Pre-Professional Advising has openings available for Winter Orientation Advisors! Advisors meet with incoming undergraduate students VIRTUALLY during the month of January in one-on-one sessions to plan out and register for classes. No previous experience is required, and we will provide all training necessary!

Besides compensation, this is a rare chance for graduate students to gain professional and interpersonal experience. Depending on your field, your time as a student may not open you up to many client-facing interactions, and this is a pathway to gaining that experience. If you are considering a career in academia, meanwhile, advising experience is highly sought-after in faculty openings.
