It's ALL about Time!

This session will start by looking at a day in the life of two college students and how they spend their time. Questions addressed in this session include: What are optimal study times in a day? How can I manage my time better? How do I keep up with assignments? How can I make the most of non-class time? How do I get organized? Time management is a major challenge for all students -- freshmen, in particular. We encourage freshmen to attend this session.
