Dr. Knapp will share research-informed strategies grounded in learning theory, including retrieval practice, time management, cognitive restructuring, and mindfulness. These techniques are designed to help students reduce stress and improve academic performance, especially important as final exams approach.
We encourage you to invite your students to attend. While the forum is designed for CSTEP and LSAMP scholars, all interested students are welcome. This is an excellent opportunity for students to gain insight, build resilience, and leave better prepared to thrive under pressure.
