Prepare for class - week 8--student life guest

Life as a student isn't only about studying and academics! As you will see in this module and in the Wellness and Health module, there are other important things in life (though it may not seem that way during midterms). Now, in the middle of the semester when you've got piles of work to do, the connections you've made and will make to others are really important. UTPB has an active and vibrant campus community, and we want you to be part of it. Adrian Lodge and the UTPB Student Life staff have made a short video presentation (which you'll watch as part of your work this week) that provides information about opportunities for you to get involved on campus.

The work you'll do in this class this week is designed to help you:

• Make connections with other students on campus to make your experience more interesting and fun.
• Make connections with future colleagues and professional contacts that may be useful to you later in your career. 

Reading Assignments

To prepare for class this week, you should do two things:

• Read "The Benefits of Participating in Student Life" from Lumen Learning and the State University of New York. Be prepared to discuss this content in class.
• Read chapter 9 of your College Success textbook.
