Greetings RIT 365 Facilitators,

Thanksgiving Break is almost upon us. We are extremely grateful for all you to support each other and our first year students!

ÔùÅ Last Class Plan 
ÔùÅ Semester Grades 
ÔùÅ Save the Date
ÔùÅ Call for Spring Semester Peer Facilitators

LAST CLASS PLAN
We’re excited to share our updated Last Class Plan that will help students reflect on their top tagged skills developed in RIT 365. This newly updated guide will be shared next week. Keep your eyes peeled for the plan in your myCourses Quick Links to PDR Guides.

SEMESTER GRADES    
Final grades are due to the University on Friday 12/22. You may set an earlier deadline for final work from your students based on your own schedule. This gives a buffer for the potential influx of last-minute submissions and time for grading. For information on supporting your students with course requirements please read last week’s PULSE 11 here.

The YOP Team will conduct two optional Grading Support Study Halls on December 19 and December 20th from 9am to 11am, CPC 2740 (across from Bamboo Room biweekly meeting location). Join us for a few minutes or a couple of hours. We’ll be there to support you and answer any questions you may have while you finish and submit your grades for the semester. 

SAVE THE DATE
WE WANT TO CELEBRATE YOU! 
   

Facilitator/Partner Appreciation Event!
Date:  Wednesday, December 6th from 1-3pm
Location: Fireside Lounge
Come and share some time with everyone as we celebrate your success and our appreciation for your hard work and partnership this semester! Light refreshments provided. We hope you’ll stop by as you are able.  More details to come!
