Dear T-bird Parents & Families,
It's the time of year when students are trying to find a balance between work and play. Now may be a good time to start a conversation with your student about how they are adjusting and which campus supports might benefit them. Resources I frequently refer students to include:
- Tutoring Center- drop in tutoring, study groups, and one-on-one tutoring. Students can also work with a tutor to improve study skills, test-taking strategies, and time-management.
- Writing Center- resources and opportunities to encourage successful writers across all disciplines. Their website includes tips for writing and online appointment scheduling.
- Speech and Presentation Center- assists students in the writing and presentation of speeches.
- Tutoring Center Online Resources- includes videos, worksheets, and links to help students improve study skills, test taking strategies, and study strategies.
- Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS)- on campus counseling center, free for students. Offers short term, goal oriented counseling. The Let's Talk series offers free, drop-in consultations around campus.
- Professor office hours- posted days and times professors are available in office to meet with students and answer questions. Office hours are listed on the course syllabus in Canvas. Smart students come prepared with specific questions or concerns related to the class.
- Form a study group with peers from the class.
- Schedule a meeting with their ACE.
There are so many resources available; let's help your student use them. We also understand that in many instances you may be the first to recognize that your student is struggling emotionally, physically, or mentally. We have created a way for you to report a student concern to SUU so we can help your student find success:

.
I look forward to continuing to work together as we create a great experience for your student at SUU.
