Parents & Families,
Thunder U begins on August 18, Thursday at 1:00pm. If you are moving your student into the dorms on campus, there will be service helpers there to assist you that morning! Plan to get your student all moved in by 1pm and then join us for Parent & Family Orientation. It is in the Sharwan Smith Student Center (Starlight Room)@ 1-2:30. We will give red t-shirts @ Parent Orientation for all parents/guardians to wear for the New Student Induction Ceremony beginning @ 3pm. You won't want to miss this exciting tradition! Then stay for the Presidents Picnic from 5-6 pm. (free) At that point you hug your student goodbye, and they join their Orientation group for the rest of this weeks events. There are so many great, fun events planned to help ease the transition for your student. Encourage them to jump right in and really get the full experience. Studies show that the student transition to college is really aided by their orientation experience.
