Best Practices: Transitioning from Spring, Summer, and Fall Workshop
Details
Strategic Planning Across Semesters
• Spring to Summer: Focus on maintaining momentum from the academic year while accommodating students with varying schedules. Offer workshops that prepare students for summer internships, study skills for accelerated courses, or career exploration.
• Summer to Fall: Use summer workshops to build interest for fall programming. Topics could include college readiness, leadership development, and networking opportunities.
• Fall to Spring: Reinforce skills learned in the fall and provide resources for upcoming challenges like finals, internships, and scholarship applications.
2. Align Topics with Student Needs
• Spring: Test-taking strategies, stress management, transitioning to summer jobs/internships.
• Summer: Career readiness, independent study skills, financial literacy.
• Fall: Goal setting, time management, academic success strategies.
3. Consistent Promotion and Engagement
• Utilize multiple communication channels (email, social media, campus flyers) to keep students informed.
• Engage faculty and student leaders to encourage participation.
4. Gather Feedback & Adjust
• Conduct post-workshop surveys to understand what worked and what can be improved.
• Adapt workshop topics and formats based on student feedback and attendance trends.
