Do you need help building a better team, running more effective meetings, or achieving your goals? At the Student Engagement office, we offer customized workshops on these topics — and many more — based on the specific needs of your club, group or organization.
Before you request a workshop, please see if the topic is already offered through our Life & Learning Workshops for students. If you don’t see a Life & Learning Workshop that meets your needs — or if you need to schedule a workshop for your group or class — please request a workshop using the Workshop Request Form below.
These workshops and programs are primarily for students and student groups, and are free of charge for students and student groups.
All programs require at least two weeks advance notice, and should have at least 10 attendees. Please note that you are responsible for providing any required presentation equipment on-site (e.g., a computer, audio/speakers, projector and screen); if you cannot provide the equipment, please let us know.
Read the descriptions on this page and decide which program is right for you.
Make sure you include your contact information.
When your request is received, we will contact you to coordinate details and confirm the time, date and location for your program. Your request is not confirmed until you are contacted by one of our staff members.
Please collaborate with others and advertise your program to attract attendees and ensure participation.
