We’d like to remind students about a very helpful resource that can be useful during online learning: LinkedIn Learning. Every student has access to LinkedIn Learning through my.newpaltz.edu. It is a treasure trove of helpful videos on professional skills, from balancing work and life, to magazine design, and more.

To access LinkedIn Learning, go to my.newpaltz.edu, and under “General,” click “LinkedIn Learning.”
