Workshops to Supplement Your Learning

Learning Assistance Programs offers opportunities for the campus community to engage in ideas and resources that contribute to their overall academic success. See you all in your classrooms and groups on campus in engaging and learning new strategies that enrich our Seattle U community.

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

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.

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, we no longer offer this mode of learning strategy workshops for our campus community. Due to department capacity and overall attendance to these workshops over the years, we found it more fruitful to go to spaces where students already are versus hosting standalone external events to maximize the learning resources we offer to the community.

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

Asynchronous Workshops

Enhancing Mental Focus and Well Being

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.
