  Welcome to Spring 2020! You may have noticed that the staff is very busy interviewing our applicants for next year already. It’s always exciting to meet the next wave of Purchase EOP/MAP students. Feel free to stop by the office on Tuesday and Fridays to meet some as they wait for their interviews in our lounge.

  Speaking of the EOP/MAP lounge, next Thursday, January 30^th, 3pm-4:30pm is the inaugural EOP/MAP Art exhibition reception. Currently, artwork from 6 of our EOP/MAP student artists is on display in the E/M lounge area. Come to the reception to meet the artists and enjoy refreshments in the company of the staff and fellow E/M students. If you cannot make it, come through to see the art anytime.

  We also have workshops scheduled throughout this semester to enhance your personal and professional development: 1) Healthy Relationships, part II (around Valentine’s Day), 2) Stress management (around midterms) 3) Leadership and you 4) Creating Effective Presentations. Watch our social media pages and your email for the announcements for date, time and locations of these sessions.

  Finally, we are setting up tutoring for the semester now so make your requests as soon as possible. Don’t wait until you are struggling to set up your success strategies!
