Attending a college or university will lead to a career in which you can succeed and love what you do. But school is so much more than sitting in class and listening to lectures! The Thrive Event Series offers opportunities to College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics (CNSM) students for skill building in academic, professional, and personal development. Here you will find free events and workshops from a variety of CNSM and campus services.

For questions about the Thrive Event Series, please contact Sonia Santos (Sonia.Santos@csulb.edu).

Success Strategies: Get Ready for Active Learning

Are you struggling to retain information when studying? This workshop is designed to help students understand the difference between active and passive learning. We will look at how the brain retains information when learning, tips to boost retention when studying, how to get active with learning styles, and how to apply what you learned in a study session to practice and improve recall.

Conversations with CNSM Faculty

Thrive this semester! College classes – especially during this time of on campus and remote learning – can be a crazy transition. This workshop will feature a CNSM faculty panel to answer all your questions about academic resources, learning in the classroom and remotely, study tips and more. Bring your questions and get advice from faculty about how to perform your best in the classroom environment.
