› Send care packages complete with snacks,
multivitamins, and encouraging words before or during
midterms to give your student a little boost.
› If your student is considering going on to graduate
school, they should start thinking now about applying.
A good rule of thumb is to begin the application
process at least one full year in advance of anticipated
graduate school enrollment.
› Midterms will start this month for many students.
Remember these four tips for academic integrity
success: Plan ahead, take notes that will help you cite
sources, ask faculty to clarify expectations (like, ”Can I
use Chat GPT to help me?”), and reach out to resources
like CESA, the Writing Center, and research librarians.”
