Description
A Workshop for STEM Students who are Ready to Reset!
Overcoming Underachievement is designed specifically for STEM majors who want to get back on track academically, rebuild confidence, and develop strategies to move forward with their academic goals. Academic probation isn’t a measure of your ability or your future in STEM. It’s a signal that something isn’t working right now—change is possible and you don’t have to figure it out alone.
What You’ll Gain:
- Insight into common causes of underachievement (and how to overcome them)
- Practical tools to improve academic performance in STEM classes
- Guidance on using campus resources effectively
- A judgment-free space to reflect, reset, and move forward
- Steps to prepare for Summer and Fall Registration
Who Should Attend:
- STEM students currently on academic probation
- Students who feel capable but stuck, overwhelmed, or disengaged
- Anyone ready to take concrete steps toward academic recovery
