The goal of the lafayette Intercultural Network Council is to promote the development of cross- and inter-cultural exchange through student, staff, and faculty collaboration and dialogue. LINC works to cultivate a shared vision for diversity initiatives at Lafayette in order to promote an inclusive environment that values mutual understanding, respect and cultural sensitivity, and a strong sociocultural academic community working together to provide social justice and diversity education programming and other efforts

The purpose of this 50-minute workshop is to assist high performing students as well as struggling students to maximize their efforts and achieve greater success in the classroom. Many students spend significant amounts of time studying and yet their efforts may yield less than optimal results. This workshop will present several best practices that can enhance motivation, memory, and concentration. Last year more than half of the first-year class attended voluntarily. Of those who attended, approximately 94% stated they would be likely to use the information.
There is no RSVP needed. It is my sincere hope that, after participating in this session, students will achieve more, both in and out of the classroom, and their levels of engagement will be heightened.
