Happy New Year and Happy Spring Semester students!
Inclusion and Multicultural Engagement (IME) is so excited to welcome you all back. A brand new year and new semester means having a clean slate and a fresh start. A chance to reset, reflect on the past year/semester, and look forward to what is to come. I would like to share with you a few tips on short-term setting goals:
- Create small and actionable goals
- Find motivators (a friend, family, or accountability partner)
- Make goals achievable by using measurements (ex. in 3 weeks I want to have met 5 new people, I will start studying two weeks before exams, etc.)
- Enjoy the moments!
IME is here to support everyone and anyone, so come on over to the IME suite (Fowler Student Center 325). We have some fun events coming up:
- Karaoke Night, Friday, Jan. 19, 6:00-8:00 pm IME Suite.
- Spam Musubi Making, Friday, Jan. 26, 6:00-7:00 pm IME Suite.
