Dear T-bird Parents & Families,

Last week a large team from Student Affairs visited student apartments, checking in with them and talking with them about the winter blues. We wanted our students to be aware of what to watch for and to have some easy solutions to feel better. We want all our students to feel safe and supported. Would you please check in with your student this week and make sure they are taking time to take care of themselves?Sunny days are just around the corner. I have included below the fact sheet we shared with students helping them understand what the winter blues are and things they can do to feel better, as well as our campus Winter Bucket list, and information on campus meet-ups, activities, and support for students. There is no shortage of fun activities to take part in on campus, let's help your student stay connected.

Thank you for all you do to support your student. I loved this reminder of all the ways our college students still need their parents.

Thank you for being a part of our T-Bird Family!

Recognizing that many of our students could use a little support in getting connected and meeting new friends, we have created campus meet-ups to help make sure no student has to be alone. This video explains what a meet-up is. Students (and parents!) can c heck out the schedule of meet-ups taking place all over campus here.
