Workshops Offer College Life Coping Skills

UALR’s Academic Success Center is offering a series of workshops sharing tips on how to manage the busy life of a college student.

The free, 30-minute workshops are offered throughout the semester, providing tips on a variety of subjects.

Topics include money management, time management, personal wellness, study skills, social networking and online etiquette, values and goal priority setting, reading strategies, conflict resolution, stress management, and a primer on e-readers and electronic textbooks.
