Hello Huskies!
As this summer has been speeding by, we've been busy improving the Academic Achievement Center and expanding our services. At the start of the Fall semester the AAC will be offering four workshops a week that will be open to all students. The workshops will cover a wide range of topics and they'll differ from week to week. The workshops will be lead by experienced AAC coaches and successful students. The tentative fall schedule is:
Sunday 4:00pm-5:00pm
Monday 5:00-6:00pm
Tuesday 5:00pm-6:00pm
Wednesday 5:30pm-6:30pm
As the fall approaches, workshop topics will be posted and updated in the Calendar at the bottom of this page. Any changes to the times above will also be updated in the blog calendar. Student groups and classes may also schedule private workshops with the topic of their choosing. To schedule such a workshop please send an email to aac@uconn.edu.
There is also a brand new program in the works called the Coaches' 4.0 Challenge. We're working to create a pledge for students to be intentional and high achieving students. Look for more information in the coming weeks about the details of the challenge and how to sign-up.
As the beginning of the semester nears, I encourage you to visit the AAC once you're back on campus and meet with a coach to be entered into a raffle for $50 Co-op gift card. The AAC will be open Sundays through Wednesdays from 4pm to 8pm. All AAC services are free and available to all students. I also want to remind you that we've made some changes to our meeting locations to offer you more privacy and one-on-one interaction with your coach.
As always, please tell your friends about the AAC and our blog! For answers to your questions please email aac@uconn.edu
Sincerely,
Sarah M.
AAC Supervisor

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.
