Greetings Eagle Families, It was so wonderful to see so many on campus for Family Weekend! For those of you who weren't able to travel, we can tell you that your students are having fun and taking in all that Washington, DC has to offer. They're also figuring out that college academics are challenging in different ways. Midterm exams are predictably stressful, but they also offer important signals to your student about how they may need to adapt in the weeks ahead. Encourage your student to take advantage of faculty office hours, teaching assistants, supplemental instruction, our writing center and other academic support services. Encourage them to use their Fall Break day off (October 14) to rest, catch up and plan ahead. Join us for our upcoming webinar, "Navigating Academics" on October 19 to learn more about the resources we offer to help your student along their academic journey. This is our last Orientation Weekly for our families. Your Eagles are flying now, and we thank you for your engagement during this transition. We look forward to staying connected through our Family Update newsletters and our Family Webinar Series. As always, you are welcome to reach out to us any time at [email protected]. From our nest to yours,
