It’s week five of the fall 2020 academic semester here at Norfolk State University. In previous semester, the Student Success center would host a fifth week grade celebration in the Nursing and General Education building to draw attention to students’ progress. With physical distancing being the new normal, events and programs are different. So, we decided to complement their focus with one of our own.
For this week’s episode, we reached out to students on social media to check in or see how they are doing. The first three students to respond to us were Za’Chary Jackson, Jamie McCullar and Jennifer Wiggins. This week’s episode features them and our tips and tools related to their experience.
To be part of this episode, send us your videos and check ins all week. You can DM us on social media, use nextup.studentsuccess at gmail.com or use the Contact Us page on the website. We will post a video compilation to the podcast’s YouTube site on Sunday, September 27, 2020. We look forward to hearing from you.
