Roaring through the Month
Plan Ahead to Support Your Student During Midterms
Midterms are Monday, February 27, through Friday, March 3. ISU organizations will be hosting lots of opportunities for your students to connect with each other, to destress and relax, and to maintain their wellbeing during this often stressful point in the semester. Want to know what you can do? If your student needs academic help, encourage them to contact Advising or University Tutoring. If your student is feeling stressed and would like to talk to someone about stress-management help, they should contact CATS (Counseling and Tutoring). If you’re not sure what your student needs, but you are concerned about their wellbeing, reach out to us at parent@isu.edu, and we’ll help you connect to the right resources.
