New and returning Peirce students: Brush up on basic skills at our First Year Initiative (FYI) workshops
While everyone is dealing with the snow that’s still piled high around Philadelphia, I’m going to take a moment to look forward to some events planned for Spring and Summer 2010 at Peirce College!
One of the many resources available to students at Peirce College is the First Year Initiative (FYI). From the moment a student enrolls at Peirce, they can find support through a variety of programs and services that are 100-percent focused on the needs of our first-year students.
Each session, FYI provides additional support to new and returning students via workshops to brush up on English, math, and basic computer skills. By attending, you can learn what the expectations are for entry-level classes, while also receiving workshop attendance credit for your participation.
For now, I want to give you all a heads up of what is to come over the next few months. You can register for the following Spring and Summer 2010 FYI New Student Workshops by contacting the FYI Team at 888.GO.PEIRCE, ext. 9219, or email the FYI Team. And one more thing, they’re all FREE!
