    End of Semester Meeting [Mandatory] (Friday)

    The meeting primarily included information which I already knew about, however the times for using the bookstore for the summer semester and information on the last day for submitting service hours were well appreciated. I also enjoyed the energy of the presentation and the succinctness of the slides.

    The Blueprint for Success - Resume Workshop (mini session)

    I enjoyed the sussinctness of the information and enthusiasm of the presenters, as well as the formatting for the presentation itself. I did not like the lack of a notification on camera usage being mandatory for attendance to be counted, as it was not mentioned at the beginning of the meeting and prior meetings did not ask for such (usually only the speakers had cameras available or a quiz would be given at the end of presentations).

    Sarah @ Debate Club Career Day

    I enjoyed being able to present alongside my fellow debate club members, as well as listen to the other presentations given by the ASA and guest speaker. While the speech itself was done way later than what I had expected, I still enjoyed being able to help present on the topic of communication.

    Sarah @ Women of Wisdom

    While I had attended a similar workshop prior with the Promise Scholarship program, I also found this one to be quite useful information-wise. Seeing a bunch of different scholarships and program opportunities as opposed to those from the aformentioned meeting was quite helpful, and the presenter distributed the information in a concise manner.

    Sarah @ Student Art League

    I've enjoyed engaging in activities which encourage creativity with my peers, as they've allowed for us to better interact and foster a community within the club. The three meetings mentioned here were the introductory meeting, one where we'd taken quizzes based on art history, and one where we'd played pictionary in groups. Within each of these activities I'd been able to either learn something new or meet new people, both of which I'd consider to be quite valuable products of the club.

    Knowing Your Rights: Immigration and Deportation Defense

    I found the meeting to be quite informative in regards to teaching about ICE and how it functions, as well as what to do if ICE detains one on campus. I found the meeting itself to feel pretty bleak, given how there wasn't much on the more emotional side of ICE's detainments and deportations, only that it was happening and that people could show up to just about anywhere (minus private spaces). However, I suppose that the tone was adequate given how this session was primarily meant to be short and educational.

    Transfer: What Next? (Scholarship "mini" Session 1)

    I learned a lot from this meeting, and the breakdown of UMD's costs was very helpful, as I was planning to go there next semester. However, I'm now quite worried about my ability to really apply there, as I have not completed my associate's degree there and I was hoping to do so after the summer, though that does not seem to be possible. Hopefully meeting with an advisor will help, though I am grateful for the opportunity to have learned about my blunder before it became a serious problem.

    Sarah @ Women Of Wisdom Spring 2025 Retreat

    I found the meeting to have been quite uplifting, as everybody was engaged and the overall attitude about the participants was positive. While I did already already know about some of the information (tutoring locations & the WOW events from the GroupMe), I enjoyed hearing about the WOW requirements, scholarship opportunities, and the aforementioned known information, as it may help other members of the Women of Wisdom. All of the tips in regards to doing better in classes were also quite sweet to hear.

    Refresh Spring 25 meeting

    I enjoyed the meeting, and I appreciated the information refresh on give pulse, its purpose, and which events to participate in for hours. Listening to a meeting before the semester's classes begin feels nice.

    End of Year Semester Meeting

    I thought that the meeting was pretty neat! I already knew most of the information within the meeting and had already completed all of my service hours, but I enjoyed the presentation and the Kahoot game that was played afterwards. I also liked learning about the changes in scheduling in the meetings for next year.
