Social Work Awareness Month Food Drive
The School of Social Work is joining the Chico Chapter of the National Association of Social Workers in a food drive to commemorate March as National Social Work Awareness Month. This year’s theme is Building on Strengths.
We will be at the Chico Farmers Market every Saturday in March with information about social work as well as conducting a food drive for the Catholic Ladies Relief Society’s food locker. The Catholic Ladies Relief Society helps many Butte County families with food, housing assistance and utility assistance. After this winter their food lockers are more depleted than they’ve ever been. So come out and donate non-perishable food items or money to help us Build on the Strengths of this fine organization.

CELT Workshop: Magically Improve Student Study Skills Without Using Magic
Presenter: Marc Siegall, Ph.D., Department of Management
Workshop date/time: March 27, 3pm - 4:30pm; Butte 103
Do you worry that your quizzes, exams, etc. measure your students’ ability to “cram,” rather than their ability to learn? Students often do not know HOW to study well. Additionally, even if they succeeded in learning the material, overwhelming stress during exams can prevent them from demonstrating this success.
In this workshop, the presenter will share some of the “biggest bang for the buck” techniques he developed while working with students. Discussion will center on a short publication he wrote summarizing these techniques, with the goal of more widely dispersing this information to colleagues for use in their own courses. The piece is written in a relaxed, conversational tone, making it a useful reference you can provide students to help themselves improve their study skills. As part of the workshop, you will be invited to share your favorite techniques for helping students learn how to learn.
You can register for this and other CELT workshops by logging on to the web site. At the registration site click on the workshop title and then click “Enroll”. You will be prompted to supply your regular user name and password.
