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.

During the Renaissance, art and medicine shared a spirit of rediscovering the human being. No longer merely content to follow old authorities, they turned to observation, practice, and reflection, seeking new understanding in the human body, proportion, space, and the phenomena of life. Art depicted human form and emotion through line, color, and composition; medicine came to understand the human body and life through observation, recording, and inquiry. Though seemingly different, they inspired each other in the same era: art made medicine visible, while medicine brought art closer to reality. Shared themes such as perspective, proportion, structure, and form allowed art and medicine to intertwine and grow in the soil of the Renaissance.

How do tiny behavioral changes lead to remarkable long-lasting results? How do you make the most of college life? What kind of person do you choose to become? Collaborating with the Language Center, iZJU library organizes a one-book project each year to help freshman students ease into college life more quickly through books and reading. This year, we invited Julia NG to talk about the above questions with you through the following three books and sessions. Speaker: Julia Ng Introduction: ‌ Master of Arts in Applied Linguistics from Ohio University, USA. She is a CELTA‑qualified language teacher and has delivered a wide range of English courses at universities across China for more than a decade. An avid reader of psychology and personal growth, she believes reading for pleasure is underrated in this TikTok era of instant gratification. Reading sharpens the mind, quenches one's desire for novelty, and compels us to challenge our ways of thinking and being - something that she hopes, through her book lectures, will inspire freshman students to experience for themselves.
