Abstract:
A Guide for Successful Students was created to accompany a non-credit course GRN 2000N THRIVES. The intention was to develop a series of modules for students entering first semester that would give them information and tools that would ease their transition to college and through that, support mental wellness. The chapters are based on skillsets, attitudes and behaviours of successful students that new students can use as a model and cover a wide range of topics that would be useful to students throughout their college years. This second edition includes materials, exercises and videos that have been added to the THRIVES course from 2019 - 2023 based on new trends and feedback from students.
