Why work harder when you can work smarter? This important life lesson is one we’re here to help you pick up in college and take with you in all areas of your life. Some of our regular workshops and events include time management strategies, how to remove barriers when you’re feeling stuck, building resilience and persistence in classwork, and how to start fresh with a growth mindset.
Champlain students have access to free, round-the-clock online tutoring through Brainfuse. Their robust services include provides 24/7 help in math and writing, live help in business subjects (accounting, finance, and economics), computers and tech subjects, programming languages, resume review, and interview coaching. Whether you need assistance with assignments or feedback on written projects, you can receive on-demand help.
The advice I would give to an incoming student (and myself, honestly) would be to take care of yourself. You can’t do good work if you’re not tending to your needs and your wellbeing, which should be your highest priority. It’s okay to take time for yourself and ask for help.
