WORKSHOPS TO SUPPLEMENT YOUR LEARNING

Learning Assistance Programs offers a series of Learning Strategy workshops for the campus community to engage in ideas and resources that contribute to their overall academic success. Join us in various opportunities each quarter in learning strategies that will enrich our Seattle U community.

WHAT IF I'M INTERESTED IN A SPECIFIC WORKSHOP THAT I DON'T SEE AVAILABLE?

If you have an idea for a workshop that you believe is beneficial for our campus community, Learning Assistance Programs (LAP) offers workshops and trainings by request. Learn more on the Request a Workshop or Presentation tab.

IS IT POSSIBLE FOR LEARNING ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS TO PRESENT TO MY SPECIFIC GROUP?

Similarly to requesting a specific workshop, LAP offers group workshops and training by request through the same process. Please see more details on the Request a Workshop or Presentation tab.

WHAT IF I WANT TO PRESENT A LEARNING STRATEGY WORKSHOP FOR OUR CAMPUS COMMUNITY?

If you are faculty or staff in our Seattle U community and have the willingness to host a workshop on behalf of Learning Assistance Programs anytime during the academic year, please refer to our Learning Strategy Workshop Facilitation Interest Form. We encourage those in our campus community to also refer to their professors/colleagues in being a workshop host, as to continue the sharing of vital and valuable information throughout our university campus.

If you have any further questions regarding facilitating Learning Strategy Workshops, such as being a student interested in facilitating a workshop, please email mendoz30@seattleu.edu.

Having a mind is hard, but it can get easier with practice. Learn new, science-backed mental strategies to help manage your thinking. Struggles with procrastination, self-criticism, and worrying often reflect mental habits, rather than unchangeable parts of your personality. It's possible to build more attention, mental control, motivation, and self-encouragement. Learn specific skills to make lasting mental changes. This workshop will be facilitated by clinical psychologist and psychology professor, Dr. Rachel Turow.
