The Center for Academic Achievement provides an opportunity for faculty, staff, organizations, and departments to request presentations.
We would love the opportunity:
- To coach students on academic skills
- To introduce them to a current topic of interest
- To provide information on ways to enhance the educational experience
Professors - rather than cancel class while you are attending a conference, request the CAA to present to your class.
Students - do you want your club/organization to learn key tools for academic success? Request the CAA to present to your group.
If possible, we prefer a two week notice to accommodate your presentation needs.
We strive to meet each request however we cannot guarantee these services.
* We do not "substitute" or teach professor's lesson plans.
*We ask that ALL Workshops and Guest Presentations begin no later than 6:00pm.
***DEADLINE for Guest Presentations for Spring 2020 is April 13, 2020. We will no longer be presenting for the Spring 2020 term after this date.***
