Attending college provides an opportunity to meet new people, make connections, and make new friends. During the pandemic, getting involved and meeting others can be a challenge, however with the many activities planned by various departments, there are opportunities for your students.
Students who participate in extracurricular activities in college tend to get better grades and are more satisfied with their overall college experience. Taking part in clubs, organizations, and other events allows students to meet others and create connections.
Following are some examples of opportunities for your student:
Self Care Journal Making
This is an opportunity for students to customize their own journals with stickers, buttons, and words of encouragement in hopes to uplift and encourage them to keep pushing through this semester. At this event, attendees who have registered using the Qualtrics survey will receive: lip balm, hand sanitizer, pocket tissue, and buttons with words of encouragement. Students will be able to choose their journals, and the materials needed to design them.
