Student Life Events at St. George

Sep 16, 2022 03:00 PM to 03:30 PM

Registration Deadline: Sep 16, 2022 03:00 PM

Virtual Accountability Check-Ins:

Join us weekly, for 30-minute weekly check-ins on Mondays (12-12:30pm) to:

set goals for your week,
prioritize tasks, and
create a weekly schedule.

Then join us later in the week for 30-minute check-ins on Fridays (3-3:30pm) to:

see how the week went,
celebrate successes, and
reflect on what adjustments could be helpful moving forward

Format: Virtual Accountability is a space for students to connect with peers and a learning strategist to learn about how to make their weekly academic tasks more manageable. The Friday sessions are split into three parts: introductions, weekly update(s)/reframes, and a discussion about how to reward individual efforts for the week. This session takes place virtually using MS Teams. There are no PowerPoint slides for this session and students are encouraged to attend for the entire 30 minutes.

Participation: We welcome students to participate in a way that works best for you, whether that is using your camera, mic, or typing in the chat. On Fridays students are asked to introduce themselves at the beginning of the session, share updates about how their week went in relation to their academic goals, and any new information they gathered about themselves that could help them moving forward. We conclude with a discussion around rewarding efforts.

Materials: Students are encouraged to refer back to their goals from the beginning of the week.

Platform Access Information: To learn about the accessibility features on MS Teams and how to use them, students can read more about the overview of accessibility features and watch the MS Teams video tutorials.

Note: Registration is required for this event, so that students can receive the link to join the online program. Students are encouraged to attend both Monday and Friday sessions, but it is not mandatory.

Students will be sent a link to join a Microsoft Teams Online Meeting in their reminder email sent approximately 24 hours prior to the session:

If students already have access to Microsoft Teams, then all they need to do is click the link in the meeting invite.
We recommend that students test this feature before your meeting to make sure everything works properly.
Students can also download the Teams app to their mobile device. If students are not familiar with Microsoft Teams yet, you can find instructions on how to use Teams here. Learn how to join a Teams meeting at this page.
