Faculty First Year Seminars 191EDU39 - From Surviving to Thriving

This first-year seminar introduces students to how stress and well-being influence learning, motivation, and adjustment to college life. Students will explore how the nervous system responds to stress, how these responses affect attention, energy, and academic performance, and how supportive practices can help students feel more regulated and resilient. Through discussion, low-stakes reflection, and experiential activities, students will develop awareness and practical strategies to support thriving during the transition to college.
