Join the Student Learning Commons' Monthly Soup Circles

Once per month in the fall 2024 term, the Student Learning Commons (SLC) will provide a big pot of vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, halal soup and bannock (not gf) in the SLC consultation space.

We will gather around the soup and chat as a group about how the semester is going and discuss topics related to academic success, including any questions you have about writing, studying, and English as Additional Language supports. 

We will have Peer Educators, Graduate Facilitators, and professional SLC staff available to address any specific or sensitive questions in one-on-one consultations. 

Conversation Starters for each session:
