August 26, 2025: Bridge to College

Reach out to the Running Start team to RSVP!

We want to make sure you're set up to be successful in Running Start, so we're offering additional workshops filled with info we couldn't cover in the RAP session. Choose from several workshops to build your toolbox as a student. We will have a welcome session (with food!), followed by three sessions and a student panel.

Students are able to choose from the following workshops:

  • College 101: Just how different is college from high school? Get to know college degrees, terms, and how to make the most of your time at GRC. 

  • Self-Advocacy: You are your own best advocate. Build the skills to navigate challenges with confidence, communicate your needs, and make empowered choices.

  • Day Zero Prep: There's a lot to do to be ready for the first day of classes. Books? Email? Supplies? Payment? We'll cover all that and more!

  • Study Skills:  Learn how to manage your time so you can get everything done. You may only be “in class” for three hours a day, but taking college classes requires a lot more commitment and use of new strategies, including how to use your syllabus to earn good grades. 

  • Campus Tour: Get acquainted with the layout of the main campus in Auburn and discover where key student support services are located.
