The Circle of Success, a select group of graduates from the Alumni Engagement Council (AEC) at the CUNY School of Professional Studies (CUNY SPS), introduced a new three-part series of mentoring workshops in Spring 2024 for students in the School’s SEEK program to help them successfully finish the semester.
The webinars, which drew an average of 10-15 SEEK students each, were designed to provide them with tools for their studies as well as their lives outside of college,
Sheridan explained her motivation for devising the workshop. "As a first-generation student and recent graduate, I understand how overwhelming college-level writing can be. When I first came to CUNY SPS, it took me forever to work up the courage to ask for help." Sheridan added, "I got so much support from the School’s community. So, it is super-important for me to give back and assist a new generation of students."
