Hello, Spartan Families and Supporters!

Today’s What I Wish They Knew post discusses how students want their families and supporters to assist them in this new stage of life. Like we said in our last WIWTK post, students and their families/supporters sometimes struggle with the changing relationship dynamics they face when the student transitions to college. Well, we hope to put those anxieties and fears to rest with the student POV on how they want their loved ones to show support.

Orientation is an exciting yet admittedly chaotic time. On this Wellness Wednesday, we offer suggestions on how to stay cool at orientation.
