CNAS SCHOLARS PROGRAM

College is not only difficult, but it is full of unknowns. The CNAS Scholars Program has been dedicated to improving the experience of 1st year CNAS students and acquainting them to resources that this university has to offer. Comprised of CNAS faculty, staff, and student peer mentors, this student success program is dedicated to providing first-year students the skills and resources to make their transition and first year of college life successful.

So what does CNAS Scholars offer? This program offers supplemental instruction, NASC093, peer mentoring, research opportunities, guaranteed seats in core science classes, and the opportunity to meet new people who are also in CNAS.

CNAS Scholars Program focuses on aiding students with exposure to campus resources. Through NASC093, students are not only able to learn about the different study skills needed to succeed, but will also learn more about what the school has to offer. The course also covers topics such as research, volunteering, clubs/organizations, and leadership opportunities.

Stuck on a chemistry problem? No problem! CNAS Scholars Program offers Supplemental Instructors which are students who have not only passed but excelled in the same class you’re taking!

One of the highlights of the CNAS Scholars program is the Peer Mentor Program. These are students who have successfully completed the Learning Community and have excelled both inside and outside of the classroom. The peer mentor will soon have drop-in hours!

First-Generation Resources

In this week's edition of the blog, we will be discussing a very important series of programs known as First-Gen Initiatives and what resources are available to any undergraduate students interested.
