Empowering Your Student

Last fall semester, the College of Applied Human Sciences launched a new web app designed to support students through a comprehensive approach to well-being and student success – YOU at WVU.  The web app delivers personalized content digitally, and also works to connect students to people and resources on campus that can help them to achieve success. It helps to bridge that gap between the digital world and WVU’s campus. 

While your students are attending West Virginia University, they will have countless opportunities to identify and develop their passions. Many students find that what drives and motivates them aligns closely with their coursework or field of study. 

As we approach the end of the semester, we understand that this is a critical time for your college student. The final stretch of any term can be challenging – but this is especially so during their very first semester. Your support and guidance can make all the difference. There is a lot you can do to assist your student during this time of year.

As the seasons transition from summer to fall, your student is likely transitioning from a nervous and excited newbie on campus, to someone with a new sense of self, purpose, community, and routine. They have found their flow in their courses, and most have taken at least one big exam. Mid-term grades will be released this month and they serve as a snapshot in time of how your student is performing in his/her/their courses.
