Savvy Researcher - Basics of Hidden Curriculum: Communicating with Professors, Navigating Resources, and More

Navigating the social and academic expectations of college is a challenge for many new college students, where unexplained conventions can cause many to feel stress and confusion about the way the higher education environment functions.

This workshop’s goal is to help demystify some of these expectations by discussing topics such as how to email and communicate with professors, when and how to use office hours, and how to use the various resources available on campus to make the transition easier.

We hope that learners will walk away feeling more confident about how to navigate college and that they will feel comfortable receiving help.
