Welcome back @WesternU students to another semester that will go by faster than you can imagine! Here are my three top tips as a Western grad and now Western prof for success this term:

1) Make your health and well-being your number one priority. 99 times out of 100 when I see great students struggle academically it is because of challenges outside of the classroom. Check out all the great supports over at uwo.ca/health/

2) Read ahead or start an assignment now. New semesters come with new motivation so best to tap into that energy before the work all piles up at the same time. Workloads don't balance across the term but you can organize yourself to spread it out somewhat.

3) Know your goal. Working towards a planned career, graduate degree, or next opportunity will both provide you motivation and help you focus. Course work becomes engaging if it's not a hurdle to get over but a tool to achieve a dream.
Have fun and work hard!
