Hello Cambridge College Students,
As we enter the 2nd week of March 2024, it’s important to breathe. It may sound a little silly, but this is not an easy time of year. You’ve reached an intense point in the semester, which means that you’re stretching and learning a lot! Don’t forget all the amazing people and resources here to support you! March in Boston is still cold and gray, and we’re all eager for Spring. To me, this time of year requires a big push to get to the end of the semester (and to full-blown Spring). Eyes on the Prize!
As we mentioned last week, March is Women’s History Month. Here’s a short video showing why it happens in March. There are amazing exhibits, performances, talks, and events to celebrate the countless contributions of women. Be inspired, then tackle one important thing you need to do. You’ve got this!
Please see below for the schedule of upcoming workshops. A list of other free Cambridge College resources is also attached.
After registering for one of our workshops, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting and the option to add the event to your Google calendar. If you do not see the Zoom link, please email leah.barcan@cambridgecollege.edu.
