First Year Learning Tips
The First Year Learning Tips series is designed to provide students with food for thought as they embark on their academic journey as HWS students. We hope these study and learning tips will aid students in becoming better learners, connecting to the HWS community, and engaging in intellectual activities with passion.
If there is a topic on which you would like more information or if you have any questions, please contact Ingrid Keenan (keenan@hws.edu or x3832). Students seeking additional assistance can also schedule appointments with CTL Study Mentors through StudyHub.
