College life can be exciting but daunting for students. This session focuses on what success means and offers strategies to get there, as recommended by the book On Course: Strategies for Success in College, Career, and Life by Skip Downing and Jonathan Brennan.
This session is an important part of the One-Book Project for Freshmen. Jointly organized by the Library and the Language Centre, the library has invited Julia NG this year to lead everyone through three books and three sharing sessions, exploring different topics together. In the first session, we discussed how small changes can shape a new self. Now, in this session, we will turn to strategies for making the most of college.
