Abstract
Education experts have indicated that during the sixth week of each semester students
begin to consider dropping out of school. This is the period of time when first tests
are returned and often‚ for first year students‚ the newness of the college experience
loses its luster. The Student Life Center at Kennesaw State University is trying to
combat these dropout tendencies with "Bust Your Rut" week. The week features a series
of activities that highlight the support services on campus and provide opportunities
for students to become more a part of the KSU community.
Tuesday‚ Sept. 25‚ 12 noon − 2 p.m. Student Services Fair with booths featuring departments
that offer support services to students‚ including the math lab and student success
office.
Tuesday‚ Sept. 25‚ 12:30 − 1:30 p.m. Learning Styles Workshop sponsored by Counseling
and Advising Program Services Center. This workshop will help students gain an understanding
of their own learning style and will offer ways to adapt that style to different classes.
Wednesday‚ Sept. 26‚ 12 noon − 4 p.m. Career Day Expo sponsored by Career Services.
Companies planning to attend career day include: AFLAC‚ Atlantic States Bank‚ Cox
Communications Inc.‚ Department of Veterans Affairs‚ Office Max‚ Peace Corps‚ Sherwin
