As we approach the start of the Fall 2026 semester, The Learning Hubโs staff are reflecting on what weโve been up to this summer, and thinking about lessons learned that we can share with everyone to make the most of the next few months.
Our Writing Coordinator, Sarah Collins, traveled to Boston, MA for a weeklong visit in May. Hereโs what she has to say about her experience:
I had a blast in Boston! We did a ton of fun things, including seeing the sights, learning the history, and enjoying some amazing food and drinks. One of the first things we did was walk the Freedom Trail (https://www.thefreedomtrail.org/), a 2.5-mile journey through Boston, starting at Boston Common (the oldest public park in America), winding through town to see Paul Revereโs house, and across the bridge to Bunker Hill and the USS Constitution, with many other things along the way.
It got me thinking about our nationโs history, and how much weโve been through (and what weโre still going through). Itโs so important to learn from our mistakes, to try not to repeat them, and to think creatively about how to adapt and overcome moving forward. I think thatโs an important lesson that applies to all of us as we head into the Fall 2026 semester. Take time to reflect on how itโs been going, and to be real with yourself about whether you should adjust your study habits or approach to your classes. Make changes, try things out, and remember that you have lots of resources and people to help you with taking the leap to improve yourself!
