📚SSC TIP OF THE WEEK: START STRONG!📚

A new week means a fresh opportunity to get organized and set yourself up for success! 💙💛

Here are a few quick ways to START STRONG:

📖 Check your syllabus for every class this week.
📅 Add important assignments, exams, and major due dates to your calendar NOW.
⏰ Don’t wait until the deadline is approaching—planning ahead can make your week feel so much more manageable!

Remember: A little organization now can save you a lot of stress later! 🙌

💡 SSC Word of the Week: Syllabus
A document that explains what a course is about, what work is required, and how your grade is calculated.

Let’s make it a great week, Owls! 🦉💙💛

What an incredible Blues Week 2026 at The W! 💙 We loved seeing everyone get campus-ready, build their community, and set themselves up for an amazing semester ahead—check out the highlights and photo dump from the week below!

Monday 8/17: Schedule Stroll! We kicked off the week by beating those first-day jitters at the Library 24/7 Computer Lab! Friendly guides walked campus with students, mapping out the fastest routes and locating exact class buildings so everyone could rest easy before day one.

Tuesday 8/18: Root Beer & Readiness: Launch Your Student Success! The W Room was the place to be for our signature SSC event! Students grabbed Moonpies, enjoyed cosmic ice cream floats, played lawn games, and stamped their “Flight Logs” while connecting with the Student Success Center team and their new W community.

Wednesday 8/19: Syllabus Savvy!Translating syllabi into success templates! In the Library GPG Room, Peer Mentors broke down course expectations, mapped semester deadlines, and helped everyone build digital file systems and personalized physical master binders to stay organized all year.

Thursday 8/20: Meet Your Mentors: Real Talk for a Great Semester! No lectures, just real talk! Students gathered in the Library GPG Room to get the inside scoop on college classes directly from seasoned mentors, diving into table topics like study habits, weekly planning, and using AI ethically as a learning tool.

Thank you to our Peer Mentors, Blues Crew, Orientation Leaders, the Student Success Center, and every student who came out to make Blues Week 2026 unforgettable!
