All are invited:  Culture Shock in College: A Community Conversation for Faculty, Graduate and Undergraduate Students

Monday, November 4, 2019 - 4:30pm — 6:30 pm  RSVP Here for location

This Community Conversation will bring together faculty, graduate and undergraduate students together to explore how we can help students better navigate this culture and mitigate the shock that some experience entering it. Participants will discuss their own encounters with culture shock in the classroom, and collaborate to consider changes we can make to have a positive impact on student thriving.
