Thriving Through Challenges: Building Resilience and Success in College

In this episode of State of Wellbeing, Nicole Gertken, Viena Klipfel, and Jasmine Monnier from the Wintrode Student Success and Opportunity Center discuss how students can recover from mistakes and missteps and continue to have success in college. They also touch on the role of faculty and staff in supporting students through these challenges. Student Learning Outcomes: Students will recognize common academic and non-academic mistakes as opportunities for personal and academic growth, fostering a mindset of resilience and adaptability. Students will develop techniques to manage and recover from academic or personal setbacks, including goal setting, reflecting on missteps, and focusing on positive future actions. Students will demonstrate knowledge of campus resources, such as academic advising, Study Hub, and counseling services, and their role in supporting academic and personal success.   Processing Questions: What support resources are available to assist students at SDSU when dealing with mistakes and missteps? Why does SDSU invest in these resources and how does that connect to your own student success? What are some strategies to overcome typical missteps that students make? How can the concepts of resilience and success discussed in the podcast help you prepare for life beyond college?
