As students prepare for the last stretch of the Fall semester, the Libraries and Learning Commons team is excited to launch a new series of workshops designed to help students build the skills they need for college success.
These short, focused sessions are free to all students and will cover essential study strategies – from managing your time to taking effective notes – that can make a big difference in your academic journey.
Workshops will be offered at both the Welland Campus and the Daniel J. Patterson Campus in Niagara-on-the-Lake in the Libraries and Learning Commons. Students are welcome to attend any session that fits their schedule and learning goals and are asked to register using the NC Engage app.
