"Diverse Voices, Diverse Audiences II"
The Rutgers English Language Institute (RELI) and the Rutgers Writing Centers would like to invite multilingual students to join a Conversation Café group. These are informal, bi-weekly meetups led by two tutors from the Writing Center. In the sessions, you'll discuss topics related to your interests while practicing your speaking and listening skills, and meeting other students.
Mental health issues can affect student energy levels, concentration, dependability, mental ability, and optimism, hindering academic performance and general well-being. Our bi-lingual panelists will address common student mental health concerns, and discuss strategies to improve overall mental wellness. They will also field audience questions.
Choosing a field of study is often one of the most difficult parts of the undergraduate experience. There are so many options and possibilities. During this Global Conversation, Rutgers Graduate students from a variety of subject disciplines will discuss their academic journeys, how they chose their field of study, and preparing for graduate school. All students welcome!
