All incoming sophomore transfer students are invited to a special Pre-BSN Institute designed to support your academic, social, and all-around personal success as you embark on a new journey at UMSN. The institute is on Wednesday, June 28th, from 9am-3pm at the School of Nursing (Bldg. 426, Room 1000).

During the Institute, you will get to know each other and key UMSN faculty and staff who will be a part of your UMSN experience through graduation. You'll also participate in educational activities, like a self-assessment to understand your academic strengths and areas of growth, a student panel featuring rising juniors in the transfer pathway, and a deep dive into test-taking and study strategies - so you can accomplish and even exceed all the goals you've set for yourself this year!

The Pre-BSN Institute is optional, but highly recommended for all incoming sophomore transfer students. This opportunity is hosted by the EPIC Pathways: Nursing Health Equity Scholars Program in the Office of Health Equity and Inclusion. Lunch will be provided. Please email Lindsay Sexton at lindsbs@umich.edu with any questions.

168 hours -- this is how much time BSN students have each week to do it all: eat, sleep, exercise, study, go to clinicals and class, work, travel, family responsibilities. So how might we prevent burnout despite this harsh reality?

Come together to help build community, discuss healthy ways to engage with various roles and responsibilities, learn ways to institute life balance, and understand what constitutes "doing and being enough". At this workshop we will also preview Fall 2023 events and programs hosted by the EPIC Pathways: Nursing Health Equity Scholars Program.

Advanced registration is not required but encouraged. Please send any questions about this workshop to Emily Herzog at epawlik@umich.edu.
