Hello Class of 2022!
Happy fall! Congratulations on completing your first month of college! We know there was a lot going on in the first few weeks, but we hope things have settled down a little bit. In this month's
Bear Bulletin, we would like to update you on some exciting opportunities.
Midterm Popup is TONIGHT! It is 6 - 8 PM in BD. Stop by for some tasty treats and destress activities. WILD, host by SPB each year, will happen on the first Friday of October. You can find information about the artist coming this year below. It is an amazing Wash U event, but remember to have fun and be safe. As the weather cools down a bit, take the opportunity to catch a game at Francis Field or in the Fieldhouse. We have some amazing teams here at Wash U and the sports events are free for all students.
Towards the end of October, we are welcoming about 2500 parents and family members for our annual Parent & Family Weekend. Even if you don't have parents or family members joining you on this weekend, there are still great events that you can attend with friends!

Mid-term Adjustment
|
|
At this point of the semester, many of you are either about to or have completed your first mid-term or project. You did it! You took your first college midterm. It is very likely that the experience is different from anything you have had in high school and it might not have turned out as you expected. Now it is a perfect time for you to make adjustments. Do not be afraid to reach out to your professor about how you are doing. They are very experienced in the field and can provide recommendations on what you can do moving forward. In addition, reflect on what worked in the past month and what you could make improvements on. Maybe it's the way you take notes, how to stay attentive during lectures, or the method of studying. Cornerstone also provides additional academic resources like guides on effective note-taking, time management, etc. I highly recommend you to check out their
website or visit their office on the ground floor of Gregg House for more information.
