Beginning of Semester Success Workshops
Beginning of Semester Success (BOSS) workshops are open to all College of DuPage students and provide strategies for study skills, time management, as well as maintaining a positive attitude throughout the semester. Some workshops are designed for any College of DuPage student, while others focus on particular programs or populations at the College.
