Welcome back to students and academic resources

Betsy Morgan, Guest Contributor

Welcome back to classes tomorrow. I know I speak for all of us when I say we miss having all of our students on campus. I hope this finds you, your friends, and family well. Please be sure to reach out to any/all of your traditional contacts as the semester continues if you have academic or personal questions and concerns. We are all here for you.

I wanted to provide you with two academic resources.

1.   First, Murphy Learning Center will have online tutoring for the remainder of the semester – https://www.uwlax.edu/murphy-learning-center/ as will the Writing and Public Speaking centers. Details are at their websites and appointments will be an option.

2.   Second, several great faculty and staff members have put together an excellent set of resources for you with helpful hints about how to be a successful online learner – https://www.uwlax.edu/online/keep-learning/. It includes personal and academic success strategies such as:

  • Take care of yourself
  • Do a technology check
  • Keep a schedule
  • Plan your study time
  • Connect with classmates
  • Communicate with your instructor

If you need help that is beyond your particular courses, please contact Student Life who will help direct you to the proper places for help.

Finally, if you have not seen it on social media – I hope you watch this great video that really captures the spirit of UWL during this time.
