Skills & Habits In Navingating your Education
SHINE is a series of workshops designed to help students thrive academically and personally during their transition to college workload and responsibilities. Each session is packed with practical insights and strategies to enhance your executive function skills and boost your confidence.
Executive Functioning
Executive Functioning refers to the set of skills that our brain uses to manage ourselves and our tasks. When executive functioning is challenging, things like remembering assignments, juggling multiple classes, or breaking big projects into smaller steps can feel overwhelming — even if you're motivated. The SHINE program can help you find strategies and tools to make these tasks more manageable.
