Fall 2024:
"The Learning Hub made my transition from high school to college much smoother by equipping me with skills for learning, note-taking, and studying. By employing effective note-taking techniques during lectures, I found it easier to understand the content, and I felt well-prepared when it was time to study for exams. I was also able to apply the most effective study strategies and even share them with friends and classmates. Beyond academics, the Learning Hub provided me with an incredible mentor who is a great resource for advice—not just on classes and study tips, but even on the best restaurants in Charlottesville!" - Charlotte Hans
"The learning hub helped me understand more about the best methods to learn and study content. I felt more prepared when I was studying or taking notes in my lectures. I really enjoyed the psychology of the learning methods and how we could apply them to our own learning experiences. My mentor was so kind and was always willing to answer questions about the learning hub or UVA in general!" - Lauren Park
"When I showed up to the Learning Hub on the first day I did not know what to expect. I had signed up for it as it was recommended to me as an opportunity to learn valuable skills that could help me in my classes. I didn't realize it at the time, but I would be walking away from this program with a plethora of great studying approaches, test-taking strategies, different ways to understand in-class lectures, and a brand new perspective of learning in general. My mentor, Veronica Pitts, was a fantastic educator and resource throughout the entire process and beyond. She always checked in on us regarding the content we were working with, but I also really appreciated how much she cared about our lives outside of the Learning Hub. One of my favorite parts of the Learning Hub was getting to apply the techniques to my everyday life in my classes. I found myself thinking back to our sessions and trying new ways to do my work. I am so grateful for this experience, and I would recommend it to anyone who is even considering it as it opened up a world of endless possibilities for me." - Ally Grassi
