STUDY & LEARNING SKILLSNote Taking: A Better System: This workshop assists you in assessing lecture information, writing in an organized fashion, and maximizing retention. Time Management: Learn how to get the most out of each 24-hour day and maximize study and leisure time. Developing consistent work and study habits will be emphasized. Tips for Better Test Taking: Test taking can be enhanced by learning how to answer what is being asked, making educated guesses, and picking out key words on essay and objective exams. Each of these skills will be covered in this presentation. DIVERSITY ON CAMPUSAnti-Oppression: Sexism, racism, ableism, anti-semitism, ageism, classism, heterosexism, and weight-ism are all forms of oppression. The origins of these forms of oppression are explored in this presentation, and strategies for dealing with oppression are suggested. Being a First-Generation College Student: This presentation is for students who are the first in their families to attend college. This presentation provides participants with the opportunity to discuss common experiences and concerns. Being an Ally: This program is designed to help individuals learn to recognize and challenge oppressive behaviors and attitudes in themselves and be an ally/supporter of members of oppressed groups (i.e., racial minorities, sexual minorities, persons with disabilities). Culture Shock: This presentation focuses on the stages, thoughts, and feelings that go with moving from one "culture" to another. Coming to a predominately Caucasian/white university in the U.S.A. often represents a significant transition for international students, immigrants, African-American students, Hispanic/Latino students, Native American students, and first-generation college students. This presentation deals with how cultural backgrounds affect this process. Minority Student Development: The development of independence, a personal identity, and an individual set of values are important tasks for young adults. Minority students may find these processes hindered or delayed because of the inherent pressures of being different at a predominately Caucasian university. Participants in this workshop will explore these developmental tasks and learn how to develop a support system to foster this growth. Racism 101: This question-and-answer workshop gives participants the opportunity to discuss racial differences and to explore how racial hostilities develop. The impact of value systems on race relations is also examined. OF PERSONAL INTEREST...Adult Children of Alcoholics: An estimated 1 in 3 families is affected by alcoholism. Children who grow up with an alcoholic parent develop special coping skills in order to survive. As adults, these skills may no longer be helpful. This workshop explores common roles and behaviors of "ACoAs" and explores new ways to cope as adults. Stress Management: Though stress is normal, maybe essential, feeling too much stress for too long can leave you feeling trapped and overwhelmed. This workshop is aimed at helping you find more effective ways of managing stress. Signs and Symptoms of Eating Disorders: What are the signs and symptoms of anorexia and bulimia? What are the physical effects? Where can individuals who have concerns about weight and body image go for help? Death and Dying: Few of us are prepared for the death of a loved one and the accompanying feelings. This workshop addresses the process of grief and offers suggestions for resolving grief. How to Help a Friend with an Eating Disorder: What are the signs and symptoms of a person with anorexia or bulimia? How can you be helpful to a person you suspect may have an eating disorder? These questions are explored in this presentation. Dream Analysis: Dreaming is a fascinating, mysterious, and sometimes enlightening process. You can learn how to pay attention to your dreams to understand yourself better and to solve problems in your life. After a brief introduction, participants will be asked to share dreams and learn to understand them better. Perfectionism: Do you have high standards or impossible goals? Are you thorough or never able to finish? Do you want to improve or are you unable to forgive mistakes? Perfectionism makes it difficult to make such distinctions. This workshop focuses on the beliefs and feelings that keep us in the perfectionism trap. WOMEN'S ISSUESWomen and Anger: Anger is a confusing emotion to women, especially as women's roles within society have expanded beyond those traditionally assigned to them. This presentation explores the cultural antecedents of anger, how anger is physically expressed, and the pros and cons of expressing anger directly. Women, Feelings, and Food: Eating is a complicated issue for women; early memories, the emphasis on thinness in society, and feelings related to self worth and women's roles all contribute to this complexity. This workshop attempts to unravel these connections and provide an understanding of the basis and the development of eating disorders. RELATIONSHIPSBreaking Up: The ending of a romantic relationship can be overwhelming. This workshop addresses how to cope with the pain, anger, or confusion, and how to rebuild and move on. Being Assertive and Saying "No": This workshop teaches specific components of assertive behavior, including recognizing how you feel, knowing what you want, saying "no" when you want to, and delivering these messages without infringing on the rights of others. Harmonizing the One-to-One Connection: If relationships are a little bit like singing or playing a song, then what part or instrument are you? Your partner? Are you sure you're both performing the same song? This workshop addresses what contributes to harmony and disharmony: communication, intimacy, roles, and conflict resolution. The goal is for participants to increase their awareness and skills so that they might have more harmonious duets. Communicating with Roommates: This workshop teaches the specific components of assertive communication with roommates: recognizing how you feel, knowing what you want, setting limits, making requests, and delivering these messages without infringing on roommates' rights. Love Doesn't Have to Hurt: Creating Healthy Relationships: Some dating relationships are abusive. This workshop helps people assess their relationships, past and present, and learn what they can do to create healthy relationships. Being There for Someone in Emotional Distress: Have a friend who is experiencing a difficult time? Is this friend reluctant to seek help? This workshop addresses how to be supportive and caring with limits so that helping them doesn't hurt you. SEXUAL ASSAULT AWARENESSHow to Get What You Want, But Not More Than You Bargained For: What are the causes of acquaintance rape? How can men and women work together to prevent it? This workshop attempts to explore these questions and promote an understanding of healthy communication and sexuality within relationships.
