June Update

Hello out there UConn!

Even though it's summer and the Academic Achievement Center won't be open again until the fall semester, we've been busy working with lot's of people in a few different departments to bring you an ever better AAC when that time comes.

We'll have more convenient hours and smaller rooms for meeting with coaches that provide a little more privacy and one-on-one attention. We'll be open Sunday through Wednesday from 4:00pm until 8:00pm, check in is at the CUE info desk.

We sent a follow up survey to the students we worked with last semester and in addition to sharing some honest feedback, about 78% said they would recommend that a friend visit the AAC and about 22% said that maybe they would.

There is also a great new resource available to students and faculty on the First year programs website. The "Ask Ali" pages are a collection of short videos and resources that are kind of like an Academic Survival Guide. Ali is a recent UConn grad and former AAC coach who had a lot of success as a student. Ali's strategies and the tools that complement them are sure to help you (or your students) handle academic life.
(The pages require a NetID sign-in)

Sincerely,
Sarah M.
Student Supervisor
