NSMTalks Series Returns
The NSMTalks series, hosted by the Office of First Year Program’s Student Leadership team, returns this Fall. For this series, faculty/staff share their academic, professional and/or personal journeys with the NSM community through a one hour presentation/discussion session. This helps build connections with our students and promotes engagement for academic and social events. If you would like to be featured for an NSMTalks event, please email us at nsmyear1@central.uh.edu.
Coffee & Conversation Events
Coffee & Conversations events will continue this Fall to increase faculty and student engagement in the departments and college as a whole. The first event will be held on Wednesday, September 3, 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM in the SR-1, Second Floor Lobby and will include the opportunity for first year and new transfer students to connect with their peers and faculty/staff through conversations about courses, professional development, and more over a cup of coffee! Volunteers are needed to ensure our students can engage informally with faculty and staff in a meaningful way. If you are interested, please send an email to nsmyear1@central.uh.edu.
