These workshops discuss a wide range of topics centered on how to achieve both academic and professional success. The majority will be led by international students who have excelled in their studies at 桃瘾社区, some of whom may also have graduated and currently hold professional careers. Some examples of topics could be how to properly cite sources or how to determine your individual learning style; other sessions may be devoted to mentors sharing what they wish they knew when they first started their studies at 桃瘾社区; yet other sessions may take the form of mixers connecting students with mentors who are further along their academic or professional journeys to provide guidance and advice. After attending the IAP advising session within the first two weeks of classes, you should receive further information on how to attend these mandatory, weekly workshops. If you have questions, email Alice Yang at ayang@pace.edu.
