Together, we’ll discuss the technology you use every day and learn about new tools that can make life easier and more fun. Bring your own device (phone, tablet, or laptop) if you have one, or just come ready to participate and learn! Facilitated by Alan Foley. Mondays, 2pm-3pm in HH 070B.

Financial Literacy: In this seminar, students will meet with a member of Broadview Federal Credit Union’s Financial Well-Being Team to learn about money management and will create goals for the financial future.

Current Events: Are you interested in what’s going on in the world? Do you want to be up to date on what’s happening in the news? Then come to the Current Events seminar! In this seminar we will talk about events as they happen in the real world. We can talk about events going on globally (all over the world), nationally (what’s happening in the United States), and locally (like new events going on in Syracuse, or other things happening in our community). All political views are welcome! We welcome open debate on issues- the main rule we have is that we have to respect each other’s opinions, even if we disagree with them. Facilitated by Jon Rohald. Thursdays, 3:30pm-4:20pm in HH 070B.

Get Connected: Are you interested in getting more connected on campus? Looking to join some student clubs or activities? Come to the Get connected seminar!

Let’s Talk Sports: Do you like sports of all kinds? Football, basketball, soccer, baseball, hockey, curling, tennis, all of the sports! Join me at this sports seminar to talk about the week’s happenings in the sports world. We’ll watch highlights from the week, talk about any news and make predictions for the upcoming week! Facilitated by Sam Roux. Fridays, 2pm-2:50pm in HH 070B.

(For residential students only) Life Hack: Living on campus can be fun, but it comes with responsibilities. For some of us, this is our first time with roommates, chores, and schedules. Together let’s explore these opportunities and challenges to learn for one another. Maybe you can help your friends learn something you already know. Facilitated by Bridget Fowler, Tuesday 4-5PM or Wednesday 4-5PM in residence halls room TBD.
