WiCS Make a Schedule for the Term and Meet your ClassmatesÌý
Have you realized that online learning is much more challenging than in-person learning? Do you struggle with managing your time? Do you miss the social interactions with your classmates?
In this event, we will work on making your personalized schedule for the fall term. A schedule helps you to visualize all the deadlines and plan your days to avoid procrastination.
More importantly, come out and meet your classmates. School would be much more fun if you study together and keep each other accountable.
This event focuses on first-year students, but upper-year students are welcome as well.
This event takes place on September 14th, between 4-5 PM EST.Ìý
