Please join us for the Teaching and Learning Center workshop "Understanding the Importance of Non-Academic Factors in Students' Academic Success" on Tuesday, September 24, from 12:15 to 1:30 p.m. in Chase Hall 109.

Academic preparedness and enhancing students' academic success in the classroom is often thought about uni-dimensionally, as a matter of simply improving students' academic skills. Yet students' ability to learn and their overall success in the classroom are much more complex and are often affected by non-academic factors, such as finances, family support, self-motivation, confidence, and social integration. This workshop will enhance your understanding of non-academic factors that influence student success in the classroom and provide considerations for how to address those factors through advising, mentoring, and teaching. The session will be facilitated by Amy Wilson, chair and associate professor of higher education administration.
