Fall Semester: Week Thirteen Reflection

This week I got to do my last group meeting with my mentees, which is kind of sad, and I sent out a survey for final one-on-ones with them. I have already gotten to meet with some of them, and I've been sort of just looking for feedback on how the semester has gone for them. I've been asking for ways that things could be improved in their classes, and a lot of them are saying that they wish there were more group projects/breakout rooms for them to do in their classes, and the other thing that I have heard is that they want time where they can just relax and be able to have a normal conversation with their professors and classmates, like they would in person, but there isn't usually time in their classes for that. I think that it could be helpful for some students to get involved in things like CampusLink, so that they can just relax and get to chat with faculty and other students. I really wish we could come back in person, because I miss actually getting to connect with people, but maybe in the future it'll go back to normal.
