Important Topics to Discuss with Your Students in December

Your students are heading into the last weeks of their fall semester, which means that assignment deadlines and final exams are on the immediate horizon. Here, at Idaho State, we are offering many services and activities to help students destress and find the support they need to finish the semester well, but there are some important topics you might want to discuss with your student even in the midst of this very hectic time.

If you have students who will be graduating this December, they have several business items they should be taking care of immediately. The Office of the Registrar offers a Degree Award web page to guide students through applying for graduation, confirming the name on the diploma is accurate, ensuring all transfer work is assessed and/or included, and so on. Have your students ordered their cap and gown through the bookstore? Your students should have received an email from the Office of the Registrar covering all of these details, but checking in with them can help avoid any unpleasant surprises for those preparing to graduate.

Experiential Learning Opportunities for that Competitive Edge

Students who can see the completion of their studies on the horizon are probably already thinking about resumes, applications, and interviews, but a student’s first or second year of college is not too soon to begin developing a competitive edge when it comes time to apply for jobs in that dream career.
