The Academic Institute, organized and hosted by the Academic Support Center, provides incoming students the opportunity to feel better prepared as they start their first semester at Penn State Mont Alto. Students who participate will:
Increase their academic preparedness
Build confidence for the first day of class
Reduce academic anxieties about the collegiate transition
Starting as early as the first week of the semester, Academic Support Center workshops provide students with topics that emphasize aspects of academic success and requires students to engage in learning new information that could be key to their academic success.
Throughout the semester, the Academic Support Center will hold various special events for students to learn more about the services provided by the Academic Support Center, opportunities to engage with peers outside of the classroom, and provide academic learning experiences on a drop-in basis without the commitment of attending a workshop.
