Description

The topic I chose to teach was ‘Making the Most of College Life.’ My presentation focused on helping students discover opportunities to get involved on and off campus as a way to enhance their overall college experience. Many students struggle to find balance between academics, social life, and personal wellness, which can lead to stress or isolation. Research suggests that campus engagement positively impacts students’ sense of belonging, leadership development, and academic success. By participating in student clubs, sports, campus jobs, or community service, students build friendships, expand professional networks, and grow personally. My goal was to encourage students to explore involvement opportunities that align with their interests while learning strategies to manage their time and maintain wellness. Ultimately, the lesson aimed to empower students to take advantage of all that SUNY Cortland has to offer, academically, socially, and personally.
