Welcome!
Welcome to Equipping Yourself for Educational Success at Cambrian (EYES-ON-Cambrian). We’re so glad to see you here!
This online resource is designed as an online transition program that helps you to be more prepared, informed, and confident as you begin your college studies at Cambrian College. It is designed with all students in mind, no matter your background or who you are.
College education features reduced student-teacher contact and supervision, greater academic competition, reduced personal support networks, and greater overall expectations than many previous student experiences.
In this online resource you will be introduced to multiple self-paced sections that cover topics like understanding your strengths and weaknesses, navigating college expectations, best practices for communicating with faculty, available academic and personal supports, suggestions on managing finances, keeping your health in mind, and more.
Before we really get into the content of this online resource, we want to welcome everyone. This is an inclusive space and we welcome everyone who may be here. Everyone, regardless of background, where you come from, what language you speak, how you identify, or with whom you associate, is welcome.
We acknowledge and respect that Cambrian College is situated on the traditional lands of the Anishnaabe People of Turtle Island and proudly recognize our local host Atikameksheng Anishnawbek. We also recognize the contributions of Wahnapitae First Nation and the Métis Nation of Ontario.
