You @ the U Transition Series - October 22, 2025
Your first semester at university can feel exciting, challenging or a little bit of both. Whether you’re thriving or feeling a bit overwhelmed, this session is designed just for you.
You @ the U is an interactive check-in where you’ll learn about key resources on campus, discover strategies to boost your academic and personal success, and pick up practical tips to help you thrive for the rest of the semester. Along the way, you’ll have the chance to connect with fellow students who are navigating the same journey.
To make it even better, the session includes free food and your own copy of the book You @ the U to take home.
Join us in person for this opportunity to pause, reflect, and set yourself up for success this semester.
