Self-Improvement Workshops

Fifty-minute workshops covering the topics listed below are taught in the CLIC each day that BYU classes are in session (except for the first week of classes each semester or term). A calendar of upcoming workshops can be picked up in advisement centers around campus, or viewed online here.

We welcome special requests to teach our workshops to various groups, both on and off campus. We also accept individual requests if you are unable to attend a workshop at the time it is offered. If you are interested in either of these options, please contact us at least a week in advance and we can generally fulfill your request.

Please arrive to the workshop on time. Seating is limited and we cannot interrupt a workshop that has already started in order to admit you. If you have any other questions, please contact the CLIC and we will be happy to help you.
