What are PACs

Weekly, 90-minute PAC sessions feature a guided activity focused on a college success topic to equip students with practical strategies to enhance their academic success. After, students have an hour of dedicated time to work independently (or in small groups). Meanwhile, Success Mentors are present to provide accountability and additional support. PAC sessions are a great way to build strong study habits, connect with peers, and establish a system of support that lasts all semester long.  

 

Example topics for PAC activities: 

  • Time Management Strategies 
  • Study Skills 
  • Goal Setting 
  • Networking & Getting Involved 
  • Digital Learning Tools
