Workshop provides parents with information to support academic success
Friday, February 27th, 2009
The Parent Connection Workshop Wednesday, March 4, from 6 – 7 p.m. will feature a senior academic advisor from University College, Nicole Brody, who will share critical information about core class requirements and how to apply to UNM’s professional colleges/schools. Brody will also identify major challenges students may face as young scholars. Workshops are free and open to the public. No RSVP is required.
Karen Olson of the Center for Academic Program Support (CAPS) will also join the discussion, providing information about tutoring programs, workshops, mentoring and other services for students who seek additional support. In April, the workshop will focus on Career Services, including information about summer jobs/internships/co-ops, and more.
The workshops are held the first Wednesday of each month in the Student Services Center, Dean of Students Conference Room, 2nd floor.
