What is a Workshop?

Workshops are interactive seminars that may involve structured exercises, personal assessment tools, and educational information that will help a person gain self-awareness and new knowledge about a certain issue. Workshops are designed to help students learn a new skill, change a behavior, or acquire new knowledge. Workshops tend to be a lower risk format and time-limited for people who want to start changing, but not yet ready for a higher level of personal sharing.

Workshops that will be offered in a semester may vary. Make sure you check the web site for Current Groups and Workshops that are offered each semester.
