To parents of new students,
While your student is home over winter break, I hope you have a chance to talk about how college life is going. A student who can respond positively to the following questions is demonstrating successful adjustments to life at Lawrence:
- Do you know your RLA (Residence Life Advisor)?
- Do you know your RHD (Residence Hall Director) and where his/her apartment and hall office are located?
- Have you met with your academic advisor at least once since your initial registration meeting during Welcome Week?
- Are you actively involved in at least one or two student clubs or organizations?
- Are you satisfied with your academic performance after one term at Lawrence? Do you have a GPA goal for the end of your first year in college?
- Can you name 4 or 5 friends you spend time with on campus?
- Are you finding adequate time for eating, sleeping, exercising, studying, and having fun?
- Do you know a faculty or staff person you can go to if you are having problems or need assistance?
- Are you looking forward to next term at Lawrence?
Fall term has been an exciting time with the opening of the Warch Campus Center, some new physical changes to campus, an earlier start date, H1N1, and all the typical academic and co-curricular activies and challenges.
I hope all our students take advantage of the winter break to eat well, sleep well, stay healty and re-connect with loved ones.
Fondly,
Nancy Truesdell
Vice President for Student Affairs and Dean of Students
