Presentations & Workshops

University Libraries and the Student Center for Academic Achievement (SCAA) appreciate opportunities to partner with faculty, staff, and student organizations in our outreach efforts. Connecting with students through courses and organizations assists us in better supporting the Cal State East Bay community. All can be delivered in-person or virtually.

Please note that we receive a number of requests, and we typically review submissions collaboratively on a bi-weekly basis (twice per month). Providing a minimum of a two-week lead time for your requested date(s) ensures we can schedule facilitators. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

 

Ambassador Appearance/Resource Overview (10-15 minutes) 

This is a brief appearance in which ambassadors introduce themselves, describe the role they play within the Library/SCAA, and what services are available (handouts provided). The Ambassador Appearance is a great way for your students to see peer educators in a way that demystifies the need for help.
