The SUccess Series is an exciting new program offering academic study strategy workshops on topics such as time management, note taking for large lecture classes, advanced reading comprehension, and academic honesty, in addition to providing an orientation to social activities that can enhance your SU experience. The free, registration-required workshops are directed mainly toward new students, but are open to all. The SUccess Series is intended to provide students with the skills needed to succeed at SU and will run from September 9 through October 20th.

The SUccess Series is the brainchild of CSTEP (Collegiate Science and Technology Entry Program), and has collaborated both within the Division of Student Support and Retention and across the University's academic units to provide a multifaceted program. It is co-sponsored by the Office of Orientation and Transition Services as part of the Syracuse Welcome 2004 program.
