I attended the “Black Americans and labor” presentation with guest speaker Manuel Fernandez. With the theme of Black history month of “African Americans and Labor”, it was interesting to hear about the roles that different Black leaders have played in labor roles, and to hear the experiences that my peers have had regarding being Black in America.
I attended the “I love PGCC” family day event this Saturday. They gave out shirts, had activities for kids, and had the women’s and men’s basketball games. They also had food trucks and other activities. It was a nice experience.
This sessions was pretty informative. It was nice to get a refresher on scholarship requirements and terminology, as well as changes and improvements to the program.
It was great to be apart of the session. My internet was going in and out at the end, but I was there for the entirety of Ashanti Martinez speaking, and it was very informative. I liked the hybrid format and the production/camera angles were cool to see!
I attended the “Money Explosion: A financial fair” this Saturday at Dukes Center. It was interesting to hear from all the speakers; I leaned a lot about credit and finances; There was so much that I didn’t know, like freezing your credit, and how to increase credit scores. I think this information will be helpful once I get a credit card, or need credit. They had a raffle at the end as well, and I won one of the prizes! It was a nice and informative experience.
I attended the virtual owl life expo from 6pm to 7pm. It was nice to hear from the different clubs, and I’ve gained interest in some clubs like the nursing club, and clay club. It was nice to hear some representatives speak for their groups as well.
Today I attended the WOW workshop titled “Study Smarter, Not Longer: Study Skills Working For You” hosted by Prof. Felton on Zoom. She taught us different study skills that fit our learning styles and how to cater different studying methods to the differing subjects we learn. Also, we were tasked to create our own study plans based on the information she had given us. I thought that the way she explained things really made sense, and the downloadable sheet that she gave was really helpful, as it summarized what we had learned, and gave us actionable steps to take in order to create a better study routine.

I attended the Health Science and Allied Health Information Session with WOW. It was incredibly helpful, because I had concerns about my future plans for nursing. I felt reassured from hearing that we have many partnerships with other universities for the RN to BSN program, and that we have lots of information and helpful resources from staff in the college.
This meeting was quite informative. We learned that in order to have time management we need to identify areas we currently dedicate our time to inappropriately, and ways to change that. It was also useful to hear that others were going through the same things, and to talk about how we could solve that together.
This virtual meeting was very informative. I liked meeting with the UMB school of Nursing coordinator; I thought that he answered my questions well, and I am well prepared for transferring in the future.
