A clean and organized space can help put your mind at ease. Set yourself up for success by learning the practice of setting up your physical and digital spaces in ways that work better for you. One of the greatest academic perks of being physically organized is better time management. We'll share stunning transformations (before & afters), practice our own transformations, and share useful tools and resources. This group is facilitated by an expert organizer and former employee of the Container Store, and 24/7 neat freak. Open to all levels - whether you need a boost or are currently in shambles. STEP students only.

"MENASA Identity and Academic Success" is a First Year Aggie Connection 1-unit PASS/NO PASS seminar that supports the success of first-year students of Middle Eastern, North African, and South Asian backgrounds at UC Davis. While this seminar is aimed at supporting students living in the MENASA Living Learning Community, all are welcome to participate. This course will help newly admitted students (first years and transfers) to transition to campus life by building connections with each other through the exploration of on-campus resources. Students will connect with staff, faculty, and student leaders to build their network of support, learn about the UC Davis community, and the specialized support resources available to them on campus. Through the course, we will also explore our personal stories, hear from guest speakers, and create a plan of action for finding community and identify how to be successful academically and socially.
