These workshops provide the prospective instructor valuable insights into the development of a University 101 syllabus, the fundamental areas of instruction for the course, the various campus resources designed for student success, and the unique opportunity to hear from other University 101 instructors as they share their experiences and recommendations for teaching within the program.

While the primary focus of these workshops is to serve those at the University of South Carolina interested in teaching University 101, the sessions are also open to visitors from other academic institutions with an interest in learning more about first-year experience issues and University 101.
