USC KCLC April Events-Workshops and Drop-ins

Hello Trojans!
Are you looking for assistance on how to best adjust to an online/hybrid learning environment, combat ‘Zoom fatigue’, improve time management skills, and alleviate stress? Please come to our workshops and Drop-in hours hosted by the USC Kortschak Center for Learning and Creativity. No reservation or appointment is required for our workshops and drop-ins.

KCLC will be hosting Drop-in Bours and Skill Building for Success Workshops with a weekly theme of time management, reading strategies, stress management or test-taking. The workshops will be interactive with great tips and resources.

Drop-in hours are available for undergraduate or graduate students to meet with an academic coach without needing to make a reservation. These sessions may be held in a group setting, dependent upon staffing availability and demand.

With Wellness Days this month, we created a Wellness Day Page with activities and a list of the KCLC Resources that may be helpful while taking a break from classes: https://kortschakcenter.usc.edu/wellness-days/

If you are interested in learning more about weekly academic coaching, email us at [email protected] for additional information.

KCLC will have more events throughout the semester, and you can check out the most up to date workshop and drop-in schedule on their website https://kortschakcenter.usc.edu/events/
