FEELING STRESSED AT MID-TERM? You are not alone! Really, you are not. Even during semesters with no pandemic restrictions, this  mid-term time is hard for new students, but with distance learning it may feel that way more than ever. I made this list of places offering different kinds of assistance available to all students including the Writing Center which you can use for assignments in this class.

Keep  in mind that you have come this far—to your first mid-semester in college, I mean. You have proved you have what it takes to keep going! But do seek help if you need it!

The City Tech Guide

https://openlab.citytech.cuny.edu/citytechguide/

This site on the OpenLab is designed for incoming students and includes both information on PLAN Week and the Companion for the First Year at City Tech.

PLAN Week: Oct. 26-29:

https://openlab.citytech.cuny.edu/citytechguide/plan-week/

Orientation activities and workshops covering issues including advice for new students about topics such spring semester registration for courses, which is coming sooner than you might think! PLAN stands for Prepare to Locate Your Advisor Now. It’s an awkward acronym, but many new students still feel uncertain who their advisor is or where to find help they might need. Please look at the activities–you will probably get emails about this event. These should not be ignored. Sign up for some of these workshops! They are designed for first semester students and some of the workshops are given by upper level City Tech students!. You might find community there.
