WelcomeWe are very excited to welcome you and your student to Washington University.

The orientation experiences for students and for families are intentionally planned separately to give each of you the opportunity to learn about the University and all it has to offer. When making plans with your student, please refer to your student’s schedule to be sure he or she is back on campus for important Bear Beginnings programs.

We will also be providing you with an opportunity over the next two days to write a note to your student, which will then be mailed to him or her a few weeks into the semester. The Letters from Home note cards will be available for pick up and drop off at various parent and family events.

Since we have planned separate programs for students and families, you will not have much time with your student while you are on campus. While your son or daughter is meeting classmates and learning about life on campus, we strive to help you become familiar with the Washington University community.

We hope you enjoy Parent & Family Orientation!

Letter from NishaDear parent & family members,

My name is Nisha Dhanik, and I am the Parent & Family Chair for the First Year Center Executive Board. I first want to extend a warm welcome to you and your student. You may remember me and my family from our articles in Bear Facts. I understand the transition from high school can be a major adjustment not only for students, but also for family members as well.

The First Year Center is here to ensure those transitions are as easy and comfortable as possible for everyone involved. Our goal is to make sure each new student builds and sustains his or her academic and personal goals. We bring together people, programs, and resources to provide an undergraduate experience of exceptional quality, where we come to know each student by name and story and where we help them prepare for a life of purpose and meaning.

We are here to help your student have an amazing experience here at Washington University in St. Louis. During Bear Beginnings: New Student Fall Orientation, both students and their family members will receive a lot of information about a wide variety of topics. We encourage you to speak with your students about your experiences and ask them about theirs as well.

Bear Beginnings is organized to cover the following topics with your students:

• Academic integrity

• Academic resources and support

• Alcohol and drugs

• Being a positive member of the Washington University community

• Dining options

• Diversity

• Health and counseling services

• Living in St. Louis

• Living with a roommate/suitemate

• Preparing for classes

Please talk to your students about these topics as they may have questions that require your perspective and experience.

Finally, always know The First Year Center is a resource for both you and for your student. We are here to answer any questions you have or provide any help that you need. If you have any questions please feel free to email us at firstyearcenter@wustl.edu, call us at 314.935.5040, or tweet us at @WUFYC.

Thank you so much and welcome to Washington University!

Health, Wellness, and the Safety of Your Student at Washington UniversityLouderman Hall, room 458Going off to college brings for many students a taste of independence that they have never before experienced. Students are responsible for their daily routines, they are meeting new people and making new friends, and they are making many choices related to their health and well-being. Washington University strives to create a safe environment where students can make responsible decisions. However, we know from experience that some students can encounter significant personal challenges in college. For example, there has been a lot of attention in the national news this past year about Title IX regulations and sexual assault on campus. This panel discussion will feature key University leaders who work with students when challenging personal circumstances arise, including depression, substance abuse, and sexual violence. Come hear from these leaders who will devote time to answering your questions about health and safety on the Washington University campus.
