Workshops

Workshops are opportunities for Pre-Collegiate middle school scholars to learn and practice skills related to academic success, for example: time management, note-taking, and prioritizing tasks. Workshops also cover concepts and skills related to life leading up to and during high school, for instance, social-emotional awareness, communication, and leadership.

Program Details:

• Workshop activities are created under the supervision of Pre-Collegiate professional staff and often in collaboration with campus and community partners.
  • Workshops are facilitated by a team of Program Coaches.
• All workshops occur on the UCCS campus one Friday per month, during school hours.
  • There are also two optional Saturday morning workshops during the Spring semester
• The workshops are scheduled by grade-level cohorts, but, at least twice per academic year, scholars from the 7th and 8th grade cohorts are brought together for combined workshops and collaborative activities.
