As the parent of a Senior this fall, I can tell you that the FYS program can be an excellent resource and tool for academic hurdles that your student may encounter. I seem to recall that our student found the help sessions particularly helpful. Encourage your student to utilize them if applicable to the courses enrolled as well as make some kind of effort to get to know the professors. Most professors are genuinely eager to help in any way. Try to stay in contact with your student as much as possible--even if it is just a very short Hello of a phone call. It will make a difference even if they are as busy as ever--also, fall break will be a welcome relief and a chance for your freshman student to re-charge and finish the semester. It comes at just the right time! Good luck, as the years really do fly by!
