MindFit Academic Enhancement offers comprehensive academic support services to students who learn differently.
We provide semester-long academic coaching mentoring, content specific-tutoring, and weekly support meetings to students with attention or learning difficulties. Our program supports students in maintaining their focus, accomplishing their educational goals by providing students with support in study skills, time management, goal-setting, problem solving, and self-monitoring skills, as well as content tutoring.
We are excited to announce that we are rolling out some new additions and enhancements to our program for the Fall 2022 semester! Here's a look into what's to come:
- More social events for the students of MindFit to take part in and get to further build relationships with one another, such as,
- Semester kick off events
- Events arranged with Adventure WV
- A destress zone – a lounge type area where students come stop by during the day to take a minute [or more!] to themselves and destress in between the hustle and bustle of being a college student
- Academic and personal workshops facilitated by MindFit staff as well as other departments from across WVU, such as,
- Finals prepping
- Midterm prepping
- Work/life balance as a college student
- Self-care
- Resume workshop, etc.
- Beginning of semester 1:1 academic coaching with a member of the MindFit Leadership for each student
-
We
want students to start the semester off on a great foot by sharing and
instilling the brass tacks of how to study, when to study, and what academic
habits breed the best results throughout the entirety of the semester.
