WeLCOMe FROM THe CHanCeLLOR WelcoMe FroM the FIrSt year center

Most of you have not had the opportunity to visit us since late summer. Now that we are nearly halfway through the fall semester, there is a hum of activity throughout the campus. Our student organizations are in full swing, planning many interesting and diverse events and programs. Students are immersed in their academic pursuits, spending time in the residence hall study rooms, studios, or in our many campus libraries where they are reading, writing, and working together on projects. Our new students

have made new friends, and our returning students have reconnected with their classmates. Parent & Family Weekend is a time for us to share our community with you, our families. As a parent myself, I know that all of you are primarily here to spend time with your students, but I hope you also have the opportunity to experience the Washington University community during your short visit. Attend a course taught by one of our internationally recognized faculty members. Visit Edison Theater to see the Performing Arts Department’s presentation of Anon(ymous). Cheer on the Washington University Bears as they take on the Hendrix College football team on Saturday, October 11th. There is always much to do and see on our campus, and I am delighted that you are able to join us. Please accept my best wishes for a rewarding visit.

Sincerely yours,

Chancellor Mark S. Wrighton

We are thrilled to welcome you to Washington University’s Parent & Family Weekend! We look forward to hosting you on campus and we know your student is excited to see you and show you around their new home. Over the next couple of days, you will see how full your students’ lives have become and how they are getting connected to our Washington University community. There are a variety of events planned for your time on campus. Feel free to visit a classroom, take one of our tours, learn about the various academic and experiential opportunities available, or hear our outstanding a cappella groups. We also understand this is a chance for you to spend time with your student and their friends so we have provided recommendations for a few of our favorite St. Louis restaurants and attractions in this publication.

FacUlty SPotlIght: MovIeS on the BraInDr. Jeffrey M. Zacks, Department of Psychology11:00 AM - 12:00 PMMcDonnell Hall, room 162In 2009, 1.4 billion movie tickets were sold in the U.S. and Canada. What compels us to pay money to sit in a dark room and stare for a couple hours at a flickering patch of light? In his talk, Dr. Zacks will describe some of the perceptual and cognitive mechanisms that make movies so compelling. By measuring viewers’ brains and behavior, he has been trying to answer questions such as: Why do audiences flinch when an on-screen boxer takes a punch, or cry when a fictional character suffers a loss? How do viewers parse a continuous stream of images into meaningful events and scenes? How do we access our memories for characters and objects we just saw? Although the focus of the talk will be on movies, ultimately the research is intended to lead to improvements in education, in successful aging, and in the treatment of neurological disorders.

Sukkah city Stl

Sukkah City STL 2014: Between Absence and Presence is a national design competition and exhibit presented by the Sam Fox School and St. Louis Hillel at Washington University. The sukkah is a small, temporary dwelling constructed each autumn for the Jewish festival of Sukkot. Its walls and roof embody a series of contradictions—open and closed, ancient and modern, ephemeral and rooted, highly structured and deeply idiosyncratic. The competition seeks to re-imagine the sukkah for the 21st century. The installation, consisting of ten finalist structures selected by a jury of renown designers, is displayed on the Women’s Building Lawn near Olin Library throughout Parent & Family Weekend. For more information, please visit:http://samfoxschool.wustl.edu/sukkahcitystl

FacUlty SPotlIght: the BUSIneSS oF all: Ferguson & Michael Brown. Structure & DenialProfessor Bob Hansman, College of Architecture11:30 AM - 12:15 PMWilson Hall, room 214Things that are hard for some people to see are impossible for others not to see. Ferguson, the Michael Brown shooting, and the violent and non-violent reactions did not come out of nowhere. For that matter, St. Louis did not arrive out of nowhere. But long before Ferguson arrived on the world’s map, and certainly since then, myths and misconceptions about history, St. Louis, and race have been repeated and passed on by people with little knowledge of either the facts or the context. This presentation will do its part to explain the real issues, dispel some unexamined assumptions, correct some rewritten history, and hopefully convince people that, in Mamie Till’s words, “what happens to any of us, anywhere in the world, had better be the business of us all.”

FInancIal reSPonSIBIlIty: StartIng a converSatIon WIth yoUr college StUdent11:30 AM - 12:30 PMDanforth University Center, room 276Now is a good time to start a conversation with your student about financial responsibility. For many students, the college experience provides an opportunity to access credit cards for the first time. This opens the door to on-line purchasing via computers as well as phone apps. Conversations about budgeting, the use of student loans, the importance of building good credit, setting up a bank account, the use of debit cards and credit cards are fundamental to establishing sound financial habits. Amy Kweskin, Associate Vice Chancellor for Finance and Treasurer will speak on financial topics that should be discussed and the important role parents play in helping their student develop financial responsibility. Amy will be joined by Ben Kweskin, LA 2015, who will share the student’s perspective.

St. loUIS hIghlIghtS

We hope you have an opportunity to explore the St. Louis area through the various tours provided during Parent & Family Weekend. The city has so much to offer outside of campus – here are some of our favorite spots!

ForeSt ParkLocated in the heart of St. Louis, Forest Park is one of the largest public parks in the country. Along with great running and walking trails, Forest Park contains many St. Louis attractions including the Saint Louis Art Museum, Missouri History Museum, Saint Louis Science Center, Saint Louis Zoo, and The Muny, which is the U.S.’s biggest outdoor theatre. If you have some time, take your family to explore this city treasure.

Tip: Check out the Grand Basin near the Art Museum. It’s a beautiful remnant from the 1904 World’s Fair held in St. Louis.

cIty MUSeUMNot your typical museum, City Museum is often characterized as a playground for adults. Formerly an abandoned shoe factory, you will find a five-story jungle gym, monster slide, rooftop ferris wheel and so much more.

Tip: Check out the rooftop ferris wheel and school bus!

doWntoWn St. loUISOf course you will need to visit the Gateway Arch, but there are many other things to do in Downtown St. Louis. Throughout downtown you will find Citygarden, the award-winning urban oasis with unique sculptures and Busch Stadium, home of the St. Louis Cardinals.

Tip: Directly across from the Arch is the Old Courthouse, site of the historic Dred Scott trials.

PLaCeS TO eaT

There’s a good chance you will want to have lunch or dinner together as a family. Fortunately, St. Louis is known for its great food and dining. Below are a few favorites from students on the First Year Center Executive Board.

reSoUrceS For FaMIlIeSWays to stay informed, involved, and connected

The First Year Center brings together people, programs, and resources to assist new students in their transition to Washington University. We recognize that family members often play a critical role in a student’s transition to college life. The First Year Center supports family members beyond the first year through hosting Parent & Family Weekend, coordinating the Family Ties publication, and serving as a resource for questions you may have.

We recommend visiting our website firstyear.wustl.edu and click on the “Parent & Family Resources” tab at the top of the page.

FaMIly tIeSLooking for a way to stay connected with campus? Family Ties is a quarterly e-newsletter coordinated by The First Year Center and Parent Programs that bridges the information gap between Washington University family members and life on campus. Family Ties focuses its content on aspects of student life occurring on campus at 4 major times of year. Sign up on-line at http://alumni.wustl.edu/parents/Pages/family-ties-newsletter.aspx

PaRenT PROGRaMSAlthough geographically scattered, parents share a central value: they want their students to have the very best undergraduate experience possible. As a parent of a Washington University student, it is important you have opportunities to connect with fellow parents and with the University. Here are some of the ways parents can stay informed, involved, and connected: • Subscribe to Family Ties, a quarterly e-newsletter that bridges the

information gap between WU family members and life on campus. Go to http://alumni.wustl.edu/parents/Pages/family-ties-newsletter.aspx.

• Alumni & Parents Admission Program (APAP): Parent members have the opportunity to host or attend receptions for admitted and enrolling students, represent the University at college fairs, and be resources for parents for recently admitted students.

• Career Center: Parents can become part of the WU professional community by posting any co-op, internship, or full-time positions your organization may have available. You can also help by introducing Career Center staff to the Human Resources or recruiting team in your company.

• Be a Hometown Ambassador: Many parent volunteers host events in their homes for alumni, parents, and friends of the University. Attending events in your hometown is also a wonderful way to connect with the University.

The Parent Programs team works to serve the needs of all Washington U parents. If you are ever in need of assistance, please contact the Parent Programs Office at (800) 247-8517.

The Parents Annual Fund allows deans the flexibility to fund the top priorities of their respective school or college. Gifts are often earmarked for projects such as enhancing and maintaining technology or providing career development services for students.

alUMnI and ParentS adMISSIon PrograMAPAP members help the University recruit, interview, and enroll talented students. Washington University parents are in a special position to communicate undergraduate student experiences, as well as what is to be gained from a WU education. In addition, they help to personalize what might otherwise seem like a formal and form-laden process. Few people are better qualified to promote Washington University than parents of current WU students.

Parent members of APAP have an important perspective to share with prospective parents and students as they consider Washington University. APAP parent members may host and attend receptions; staff college fairs; participate in Parent to Parent Calling, the Parents Resource List, and the International Resource List; and help to spread the word about WU in their communities.

APAP allows parent and alumni to make a significant contribution to the WU community from their local communities. It also enables parents and alumni to make connections with one another in cities all over the world.

How Can You Become Part of APAP?The Alumni and Parents Admission Program (APAP) is a group of dedicated Washington University alumni and parents who assist with the undergraduate admissions process.

For information about how to get involved with APAP or to join, please visit apap.wustl.edu, or contact us at (800 or 314) 935-4826 or [email protected].
