As the Class of 2017 approaches the halfway mark to graduation, the Center for Student Development is sponsoring the “Sophomore Segue” series, which supports sophomores as they transition to junior year.

Co-sponsored by the offices of Alumni/Parent Programs, Campus Life, Career Development, Community Service and Dean of Students, the initiative will provide sophomores with the opportunity to gain specific skills and knowledge to be better prepared for their future plans and to participate in a variety of service opportunities.

Workshops include:

  • “Things to Know Before You Go” – 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 8 in the William Watts Sherman House boardroom.

  • “Living Off Campus: What You Need to Know” – 8:45 p.m. Monday, April 13 in the Narragansett Hall lounge.

As space may be limited, students who are interested in attending should RSVP to salvecsd@salve.edu.

In addition, sophomores will have the opportunity to participate in one or more service projects during the Sophomore Day of Service, scheduled for Friday, April 17.
