And when you complete three one-hour workshops, you will earn a $500 cash credit toward your spring 2022 tuition.

A Message from the Dean

Dear Students:

Happy Finals Week, and congratulations to our December graduates. We look forward to celebrating all of your accomplishments this Saturday.

For all undergraduate students planning on returning this spring, I want to direct your attention to some special programming we are offering the first week of January. After sending out surveys, conducting focus groups, and listening to some of the challenges students have experienced transitioning back to campus after remote learning, we will be offering a variety of free workshops. These virtual January Jumpstart sessions will run January 4–6. There will be workshops on managing stress and anxiety, improving your time management skills, securing an internship, and much more. All sessions are free. As an extra incentive, if you attend three workshops, you will earn $500 off your spring tuition bill.

These workshops are a great way to start your spring 2022 semester strong. Registration is open now until December 17. Sign up as soon as possible to secure your spot.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions.

Have a wonderful holiday and Happy New Year!

Sincerely,

Jennifer L. Buckley, EdD
Dean, School of Education
