Recently, I visited the SRB; that is the Student Resource Building. That name is perfectly suitable for that place. It is FULL of resources. Everywhere you look you can new information about where to find this or where to do that. Some academic resources at the SRB are CLAS drop-ins and ethnic resource/study centers. My personal favorite at the SRB is EOP. They can answer any question you may have and will refer you to the right people. Not only does the SRB provide students with academic resources, but they advertise activities to de-stress and relax your mind. One flyer that caught my attention was Alfred Hitchcock Movie Nights. I will be watching Strangers on a Train. All in all, if you need help with anything, the SRB is the place to go.
In the topic of meeting people, I have decided to implement some of the suggestions we discussed in class into this week. I went to the Physics Study Room and saw some familiar faces. In addition, I will introduce myself to people in San Nic, attend more activities, and join an organization in the future.
Today at the career fair, I visited the Education Abroad Program (EAP). At the EAP table I learned of the different programs and requirements for students. Some requirements include GPA and 0-5 quarters of the foreign language. Currently, I am thinking about going to Germany. Today I also talked to some Engineering students and received a General Engineering Academic Requirement (GEAR) Booklet. My plans are to transfer into the college of engineering. Lastly, I stopped by the EOP table and had a talk with Osvaldo. He explained to me that they are in San Nic Monday-Thursday and suggested I stop by. I plan on using these resources I learned about today, but in particular I plan on stopping by EOP sometime this week.
Hey Christian. Since you commented on my post I decided to the same on yours. I'm really glad that you found the Student Resource Building as a great location for seeking guidance. It is indeed a great place to seek assistance of any kind. I also like the fact that EOP is there and it is true that they do help you with almost any question. Personally I am going to take advantage of being part of EOP and I'm glad that you will to. I also stopped by the EAP section and did take some booklets of difference regions of the country. At the moment I am interested in going to Japan, maybe, and probably a European Country. In addition, I also noticed that you said we needed to take 5 quarters of a language. I did not know that so thanks for letting out the information haha.
ReplyDeleteI really hope that this summer start program has treated you well and that you've met a lot of awesome new friends. Continue working hard and never doubt yourself, Christian. I'm sure that you'll be successful in the future and fulfill your goals.
