CAFY Students Engage in Dynamic Student Success Week at USM
March 31, 2026
From team challenges to wellness sessions, CAFY students at USM are actively participating in a three-day Student Success Week focused on growth, connection, and confidence-building.
The University of St. Martin’s Caribbean Academic Foundation Year (CAFY) students are currently participating in an engaging and impactful Student Success Week, a three-day initiative designed to support their academic, personal, and social development.
Centered around the theme “Building a Strong Foundation for a Bright Future,” the week brings together students, facilitators, and guest speakers for a series of interactive workshops, group activities, and wellness sessions.
So far, students have been actively engaged in sessions focused on developing a growth mindset, strengthening communication skills, and building meaningful connections. High-energy group challenges and interactive exercises have created an environment where students are encouraged to step outside of their comfort zones while working together as a team.
These activities not only foster collaboration and problem-solving but also reflect the core purpose of the CAFY program, preparing students with the confidence and foundational skills needed to succeed in higher education.
As the week continues, students are also being introduced to the importance of self-care and overall well-being, with upcoming sessions dedicated to relaxation, reflection, and personal development.
Student Success Week is a key part of the CAFY experience, reinforcing USM’s commitment to creating a supportive, engaging, and student-centered learning environment.
With one more day to go, the energy and enthusiasm displayed by the students highlight the impact of initiatives like these in helping students grow, connect, and prepare for their academic journey ahead.
