The Gator Success Institute offers a variety of academic success workshops for students each semester.  The workshops are aimed for students to improve their academic status and progress towards their degrees at UHD.  Workshops are scheduled to coincide with key items on UHD's Academic Calendar.  Workshops are led by Peer Mentors in the freshmen seminars and by the Academic Success Coaches throughout the term and in freshmen/sophomore level courses at the request of faculty.

Peer Mentor Led

All Gator Peer Mentors are trained to provide five success presentations/workshops for your class. They can customize a presentation to fit your time frame. Each session includes presentation material and activities for your students.
