Each year the Academic Advising Office provides workshops to the Grinnell campus community. The Academic Office would be happy to provide a workshop or advising activity for your students or group. Drop us a line if you are interested in these or other sessions: E-mail: advising@grinnell.edu

"I just don’t have the time!" "I wish there were more hours in the day!" "What have I done today!?!?!" Do you find yourself asking these questions on a regular basis? Then join us at the Time Management workshop sponsored by the Office of Academic Advising! This workshop is designed to get beyond the idea of "just use a planner". We’ll talk about making the most of the time you have, identifying where your time goes, and getting started on those short- and long-term goals!
