Mid-Semester Refresher: Planning Backwards To Move Forwards
The Academic Coaching program is hosting a time management workshop at the Student Success Center next Thursday, October 22nd from 2:30pm-3:30pm in their classroom, Charles Library 201. Students will learn how to use backwards planning to map out the remainder of their assignments/projects/exams and break larger tasks into manageable steps. The goal is to help students feel organized and on track to tackle the last half of the semester!
Students should plan to bring their laptop/tablet or planner with them. There is no rsvp for this event, but the space will be limited and first come, first served. Please see the flyer below.

Recreation Is My Therapy
The Recreational Therapy team is excited to announce dates for Fall 2025 Recreation Is My Therapy sessions! All Temple students are welcome to join. Sign up to ensure you have a spot saved for this semester!
Recreation Is My Therapy is a 7 week project run by senior level Recreational Therapy students. It is free and open to all Temple Students. This year's sessions will be at Paley Hall - exact locations will be sent to students who register. We do ask that students come to all sessions with the understanding that this is not always possible. The first session is an assessment of recreation interests and goals for the semester. The next six use enjoyable activities to support goal attainment.
All sessions are run at Paley Hall. Location details will be shared with people who register prior to the events.
