Empowering Your Student

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.

We hope this message finds you well and filled with excitement for your student’s journey through college. As partners in your student's education, we understand the immense pride that comes with witnessing their achievements, both big and small. We want to highlight not only the importance of celebrating these successes but also how our college is committed to honoring your student's accomplishments.
