The Divisions of Academic and Student Affairs collaborate each semester to present the Academic Skills Series, a series of programs designed to assist students in the development of and/or strengthening of academic skills (in and out of the classroom) needed to be successful at IWU.
Fall 2019 Schedule
The Academic Skills Series is held on the following Wednesdays from 12-12:50pm in the Turfler Room in the Memorial Center. Students can pick a specific topic(s) or attend all sessions. Students are encouraged to pick up their lunch in the Dugout or the Commons and join us!
