Weekly Academic Accountability Group for Students

The Center for Academic Success (CAS) has decided to offer a weekly academic accountability group for students who want to stay motivated and make progress towards their academic goals this term.

The group will meet Tuesdays from 8-9 p.m. Central Standard Time (CST) at https://lawrence.zoom.us/my/julieh for the rest of this term.

This group is open to all Lawrence students! You don’t have to share a major or academic interest to attend. It’s an incredibly simple and effective tool to help you do your best with the rest of the term. 

Faculty and staff, we are sure you have students you think could benefit from this type of work. Please encourage your students to participate!

We encourage all students to consider this opportunity to optimize their planning and success as we approach the end of the term. The pandemic and winter have been quite difficult for some of our students to navigate, especially with motivation. Julie Haurykiewicz, Associate Dean of Academic Success, will be there to answer any questions.  

Why should I join a group like this?
–Get peer support
–Get and give encouragement
–Stay motivated
–Extra social connection
–Accountability, naturally

Are you interested? Great! Show up by yourself or bring a friend Tuesday at 8 p.m. CST https://lawrence.zoom.us/my/julieh.

Endorsement Julie received from a faculty member after one of her students attended the first meeting: “What seemed to impact the student the most was hearing from other students who were similarly stressed and overwhelmed and seeing that (a) he wasn’t alone, and (b) he could and should do something about it.”

If you have any questions, please contact cas@lawrence.edu.
