Your Summer Preparation for Christendom
|
| |
Dear Class of 2029,
Welcome to Christendom College! My name is Kaelan Hsu, and I am the Director of Academic Success here at Christendom. I can't wait to meet you all in August! As you prepare to begin your college experience, I would like to share with you some of the academic resources available on campus. This way, you can begin planning now for your academic success at Christendom.
We offer a wide variety of academic support services at no extra cost to our students. These include Tutoring in Math and Language courses, access to an excellent Writing Center staff, Office Hours with our Faculty, and Workshops on Time Management, Note-Taking, Study Skills, Test Prep, and Learning Styles. We also offer an Academic Mentor Program, which pairs a student with an experienced upperclassman to assist him or her with embracing the academic life. I highly recommend that you take advantage of these resources. If you would like to learn more about any of these programs, please let me know!
Another valuable resource we offer at Christendom is Academic Coaching. If at any point during the semester you are feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to turn, you are always welcome to stop by my office and discuss a path forward. I am ready to listen to your concerns, create a personalized study plan, and help you catch up in your courses and assignments. My door is always open to you!
Finally, we also offer reasonable Academic Accommodations for students with diagnosed disabilities or other impairments that may affect their experience at the College. If you are interested in pursuing academic accommodations, please contact Mrs. Katie Summers, our Academic Accommodations Specialist, by July 31st to begin the application process. You can reach her by emailing katie.summers@christendom.edu or by calling 540-551-9172. Then, we can set you up with the tools and resources you need to be successful from day one!
You are in my prayers this summer as you prepare to come to Christendom. If you have questions about our academic support services or would simply like to introduce yourself, feel free to contact me anytime (kaelan.hsu@christendom.edu or 540-551-9177). See you soon!
God bless,
|
