Bear Beginnings 2014 Parent & Family Schedule by WashU Student Transitions & Family Programs

BEAR BEGINNINGS 2014 Parent & Family Orientation Schedule

WELCOME We are very excited to welcome you and your student to Washington University. The orientation experiences for students and for families are intentionally planned separately to give each of you the opportunity to learn about the University and all it has to offer. There are times, however, when we feel it would be best for you and your students to participate in programs together. These events are marked with the following symbol:

When making plans with your student, please refer to your student’s schedule to be sure he or she is back on campus for important Bear Beginnings programs. We will also be providing you with an opportunity over the next two days to write a note to your student, which will then be mailed to him or her a few weeks into the semester. The Letters from Home note cards will be available for pick up and drop off at various parent and family events. Since we have planned separate programs for students and families, you will not have much time with your student while you are on campus. While your son or daughter is meeting classmates and learning about life on campus, we strive to help you become familiar with the Washington University community. We hope you enjoy Parent & Family Orientation! THE FIRST YEAR CENTER firstyear.wustl.edu | firstyearcenter@wustl.edu | 314.935.5040 ASK THE FYC Need answers quickly and virtually?

LETTER FROM SHANA Dear parents and family members, My name is Shana Zucker and I am a current junior in the College of Arts & Sciences, as well as the Parent and Family Chair on the First Year Center Executive Board. You may remember my family and me from our letters in Bear Facts, the First Year Center publication sent to all new students over the summer. Before anything else is said, I want to welcome you to Washington University! I understand that this can be a stressful transition for both you and your student, but it can also be an exciting one. The First Year Center, along with all other members of the Washington University community, is here to ensure that this transition is as easy and enjoyable as possible. Bear Beginnings: New Student Fall Orientation is a four day long event designed by the First Year Center to introduce students, parents, and family members to the various resources available to them on campus. Over the coming days, both you and your student will be receiving a lot of information on a wide variety of topics, including: • • • • • •

Academic integrity Academic resources and support Alcohol and drugs Being a positive member of the Washington University campus Dining options Diversity and Inclusion

• • • • • • •

Health and counseling services Living in St. Louis Living with a roommate/suitemate Preparing for classes Residential life policies Safety Sexual assault

Please talk to your student about these topics as they may have questions that require your perspective and experience. Also, know that the First Year Center is always a resource for both you and your student regarding the topics above or anything else, both during Bear Beginnings and throughout the rest of your experience at Washington University; we are here to answer any questions or provide any assistance that you may need. Please contact us with any questions by email at firstyearcenter@wustl.edu, by phone at 314.935.5040, or Twitter at @WUFYC. I wish both you and your student the best, and once again, welcome to Washington University!
