A Web of Support

On campus, your student will find many folks who are there to help her have the best college experience ever. Residence hall staff, faculty, student affairs administrators, student leaders, public safety officers, tutors, dining hall employees, support staffers and others are here because they want to work with your student! These good folks choose to work with college students—and many of them went to school or received specific training to learn more about working with this population.

So, if your student has a question or concern, encourage her to approach one of the many committed, knowledgeable, caring folks on campus. Asking for help is wise and a sign of great strength while "toughing it out" alone doesn't work out so well. There's a web of support surrounding her, day and night, and we hope she'll use it to her advantage.

It's difficult when your child is sick, whether they live near or far. Help them get healthy by suggesting practical tips that really do work, even if they think they're invincible. And, if you suspect that something may be seriously wrong, get your student to a doctor. Campus services are there to help—we all want your student back on his or her feet soon.
