Bishop’s students buckle down for success – Support events and resources mobilized for Student Success Week

Next week Bishop’s students won’t be attending classes, but they have a lot of tools at their disposal to help ensure they succeed in the final stretch of the Fall 2021 Semester.

Morning workouts and yoga session from 9-10 a.m., Study Café with free coffee and tea offered at the Gait between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., workshops and activities hosted by the Writing Centre and Student Success Centre, as well as Indigenous awareness activities, recreational sports and games, pumpkin carving, movies and more hosted by clubs and student life groups are on the agenda for all Gaiters thanks to the efforts of members of the Student Representative Council and the many event organizers from October 25-29.

“Student Success Week is a nice snapshot of what Bishop’s University is all about,” points out Dr. Stine Linden-Andersen, Dean of Student Affairs. “It is meant to give students the time they need to put in the work and effort required as they reach for academic excellence, but it balances this hard work with opportunities for social engagement and interaction within our close-knit community.”

“Student Success Week will include a mix of academic and leisure activities to provide students with a stimulating break from classes,” explains Bishop’s University Student Representative Council President Enzo Evangelisti. “The goal is to take a proactive approach to student success.”
