About Staying Connected |
IN THIS ISSUE From the Dean of Students' Desk
By the time you are reading this newsletter, your son or daughter will be well into the 2nd half of their first semester of college. Time sure does go by quickly. Thanksgiving will be here shortly. Soon, students will be preparing for those end-of-the-term projects and studying for final exams. t is during the second half of the semester when new students start experiencing higher levels of stress. All of the projects, papers, and presentations start to really pile up in their courses and they sometimes find themselves struggling to keep up with the work load. It may also be the time when they get a lower-than-expected grade on an assignment. This is especially true for writing assignments and oral presentations because this is where many students find the greatest difference from what was expected in high school. You can help by being supportive and encouraging your son or daughter to use the resources at the University, especially the Academic Resource Center and Writing Center. |
