Interested in becoming a College Transition Workshop Leader?
CT Workshop Leaders work with first-year students who are taking a combination of three courses: CSI:1100 The College Transition, a shared lecture course (listed below) and CSI:1150 The College Transition Workshop.

“I enjoy workshop because it gives me the opportunity to create relationships with some of the new faces on campus. It is inspiring to watch the personal and academic growth that happens in just a couple of months. Through workshop, I have had the ability to grow my communication skills and adapt to various learning styles, which has created a new perspective for me on my own academic journey.”
