What Supporters Can Do
We can all use words of encouragement and support every once in a while.
What Parents/Supporters Can Do
- Encourage your student to study and work hard, and to not fall behind in their school work.
- Encourage your student to seek help when they need it. A trip to the College Office to speak with an Academic College Advisor is the best starting point.
- Encourage them to ask about the university's support and mental health resources.
- Encourage them to enjoy their intellectual and social experience at university.
- Remind them to meet deadlines!
