concerns during the course of an academic year. Stay informed about
timely student issues and join University representatives at your
computer for the following live-interactive programs over the Internet:
Preparing for a Successful 08-09:
Tips, strategies, and common questions about starting a new academic
year

"I think my son doesn't get along
well with his roommate." "My daughter seems homesick."
"My son says there's nothing to do on campus."; University
representatives will be available to address your current questions
and concerns about on and off-campus living, academic advising,
new relationships, campus safety, the importance of getting involved
in student activities, and other issues related to your student's

Alcohol & Your Student: Time
for a check-up
Tuesday, October 7,
7:00 p.m.
Research tells us that most students have already
or will experiment with alcohol while in college. From underage
drinking to DWI issues, resident experts will briefly review the
statistics so far for the semester and talk candidly about drinking
and its consequences for students.
Depression & College Students:
How parents can help
Tuesday, November 4, 7:00 p.m.
Experience tells us that November is the most stressful
time of the year for students…likely due to academic issues.
This stress can lead to depression. Learn about the possible challenges
and crises students experiencing academic difficulty may encounter,
how to recognize the problem, and most importantly, how parents
and the Counseling Center can try to help. More webcasts will be offered in the spring. |
