SEPTEMBER "LETTER TO SELF"
Students will hear more about this at the Welcome Back Night (September 20th), but we want you to start thinking about it now. What should this letter include?
Things like:
- How you plan to stay motivated in the UBMS program
- Your concerns, challenges and goals for your first semester in school
- What is your plan for overcoming obstacles and reaching goals?
These letters will be reviewed at the end of your first and second semesters. UBMS staff will periodically check in with you throughout the school year to see how your plans are coming along.
THIS IS A REQUIRED ASSIGNMENT AND WILL BE DUE SEPTEMBER 26TH - please note earlier date!
