Opportunities in Bowers and Beyond: Joining Clubs and Undergraduate Research
No full textThe topic I decided to present was “Opportunities in Bowers”. I chose this because I feel that many students underutilize resources and opportunities that both the chemistry and biology departments offer. I have been doing undergraduate research in biochemistry for 2 years and feel that I have become a better student because of it. Research has been conducted supporting that students who participate in undergraduate research have higher GPA’s, studies have also suggested that GPA’s can be predicted based on how long a student has been doing research (Sell 2018). Students participating in undergraduate research have also shown to be more successful in finding jobs post graduation (Kinkel 2006). The benefits of participating in research, joining clubs in the sciences, and just being active within the department are often overlooked, resulting in students missing out on opportunities that will help them both in college and after graduation. The main objective of my lesson was to promote students to join clubs and encourage them to approach professors and ask about joining their labs. The earlier students do these in their careers the more successful they have shown to be.https://digitalcommons.cortland.edu/cor101posters/1122/thumbnail.jp

Why Students Should Play Sports in College
No full textThis poster goes over the benefits of being active in college and participating in sports. I touch base on the lifelong skills gained from playing a sport and how it can lead to a healthier life. Using the Gustavus Adolphus College article and SDSU Study I created a table and statistics to help support my findings on the positive benefits college sports can have on a student.https://digitalcommons.cortland.edu/cor101posters/1147/thumbnail.jp
Staying Organized in College
No full textThe lesson Staying Organized in College was designed to help first-year students understand how effective organizational strategies contribute to academic success, reduced stress, and improved time management. Research shows that students who use structured planning tools and intentional scheduling practices experience better academic performance and lower levels of overwhelm (Britton & Tesser, 1991; Nonis & Hudson, 2010). To introduce these skills, the lesson began with an interactive Mentimeter activity to assess students’ current habits, followed by short YouTube videos demonstrating real college organization systems. Students then completed a partner-based worksheet to reflect on their habits and create a personalized one-week plan. By combining technology, collaboration, and practical tools, the lesson aimed to help students explore a range of organizational methods and identify strategies that fit their individual needs.https://digitalcommons.cortland.edu/cor101posters/1151/thumbnail.jp
Professional Aspects to Prepare for Collegiate & Post-Collegiate Life
No full textThe topic I chose to cover was professional aspects and networking. This presentation provided first-year students with an opportunity to learn about the process of networking and the logistics of connecting with others. This lesson introduced and familiarized students with professionalism and how they could start building their brand as first-year students. Students developed stronger networking techniques to use when interacting with others during in-person events and through online professional platforms such as LinkedIn. Overall, this lesson taught students the importance of networking and the opportunities it can provide if executed effectively.https://digitalcommons.cortland.edu/cor101posters/1153/thumbnail.jp
