The COR 101 Student Facilitator Posters showcase the work of more than 60 Student Facilitators who serve an internship each year with the COR 101 first-year seminar program. Student Facilitators develop a poster, summarizing a lesson they taught in-class to first-year students focusing on topics relevant to the first-year transition experience. Posters cover the preparation and research, lesson execution, and reflection and assessment that went into teaching their class of first-year students.
Posters are created from slides, like those that follow.

Importance of Sleep
Mercy Aladegboungbe
My topic is importance of sleep. As college students, our sleeping routine is not being emphasized a lot and most college students spend their nights either doing homework, having an all-nighter, going out and so on. we tend to face the effect of not having a good night sleep the following day. People tend to get drained, irritable and sleepy all day and wonder why this is happening. it the effects of having less than eight hours of sleep. I choose this topic to bring more light and emphasis on having a good, health sleep routine.

Student Health and Wellness
Sophia Boccio
In my first semester here at SUNY Cortland the biggest challenge I faced was staying healthy. The transition to college can be challenging in all aspects of our individual health and I felt I was most passionate about this subject. For my presentation, I focused on ways to maintain physical health, socio emotional health, mitigate stress, boost mental health, and cultivate spiritual health. For one of my classes, I also organized a tour of the student life center facilities for my students which beautifully tied into the lesson on maintaining physical health in college. I also focused on strategies to mitigate anxiety and angst in college where the environment is new and family is far. Maintaining our health is pivotal to academic success and happiness.

The Ups and Downs of Mental Health
Sonya Concepcion
Many students on college campuses struggle with their mental health, and although there has been light shed on the issue, it's still considered overlooked.

Gracie Gallagher
I chose my topic because when I was a freshman, I looked up to my upperclassman for advice about final exams. I wanted to give the students some helpful tips, to help them perform their best. Additionally, with the current mental health crisis many young adults are facing, I believe it is important for all students to know what resources they have available to them and ways to help better themselves.
