WE ARE… Successful
How are your classes progressing up to this point? Maybe the academic expectations are not exactly what you expected. If this sounds like your experience, join us for week three’s LionSide Chat where we will explore ways to “make the grade” this semester. Staff members Sonia Delaquito (Learning Center Coordinator) and Alexa Hodge (Coordinator, Student Support Services) will share academic and non-academic strategies that any student (new or returning) can implement to maximize one’s potential and resources both inside and outside of the classroom!
This LionSide Chat will be presented by:
Ms. Sonia Delaquito, Learning Center Coordinator Penn State Berks
Ms. Alexa Hodge, Coordinator of Student Support Services Penn State Berks
“Am I Fake!?”: Understanding Imposter Syndrome in College
College can be a confusing time when many students struggle with the question “Do I belong here?” This LionSide Chat will expose participants to the Impostor Syndrome phenomenon (a tendency to downplay accomplishments, leading to feelings of inadequacy) and outline ways to manage the resulting feelings of academic incompetence.
This LionSide Chat will be presented by: Alexa Hodge, M.Ed., Coordinator of Student Support Services Penn State Berks
