Hi all: A heads up that publication of the weekly CALS Connect ugrad student newsletter has resumed. No need for you to forward; all active CALS undergraduate students – regardless of enrollment – receive this eNewsletter.
We’re using our new publishing platform – Trellis Marketing Cloud. Starting next week the newsletter will be sent on Monday; you’ll receive it directly to your inbox (meaning, not as a forward from me).
If you have information you’d like included in CALS Connect please send it to me by Wednesday of each week. Also, if you have suggestions on content please let me know!
Best,
Gabrielle

Be Your Best Learner!
You can learn to be your best learner. Sound strange? It’s true! Like professional athletes, trained musicians, or skilled artisans, mastering a skill at your highest level doesn’t happen overnight. This type of success is built on years of training, experience, falling – and getting back up again.
Learning is that way too. Learners, like you, can refine and elevate their ability to understand, comprehend, and communicate. Where does your journey to learning success begin? For students in the College of Agriculture & Life Sciences, you’ll start with the CALS Learning Lab: Powered by the SALT Center.
Shawnda Garcia, CALS Learning Coach, works with CALS students to develop success goals, build skill with proven academic strategies and help learners learn better. Connect with "Coach" Shawnda to develop skills in:
* Organizing Course Material
* Time Management
* Reading Strategies
* Study Strategies
* And so much more!
Get more info - including how to schedule an appointment with Shawnda - below!

How are Things Going? Actually?
Wildcats R.I.S.E. is a free support program for all UArizona students. It offers a safe place for you to connect with trained peers and talk about the stresses you may share.
Connect in a group setting or in a on-demand, one-on-one consultation. It’s completely up to you.
Talking through stress helps, especially when you’re talking to people who get it. And, they totally get it.
