Sophomore and Junior Parents: Title “The Energizer™ Parent”

Another academic year is underway, and while you may not have the jitters of a freshman parent, you may still feel some anxiety over saying goodbye again.  We recommend that you channel your parental energies into encouraging your student to seek answers, resources, and opportunities to help make the most of their remaining time at Gonzaga.  Those still looking for a major, trying to score the perfect internship, or seeking a stronger relationship with faculty, all can jump right into key conversations with faculty and advisors now that they are back on campus.  Encourage your students to remember their original goals (both personal and academic) for their college careers, and start the semester off with a burst of energy in making them reality.

If your student contacts you this semester with questions or concerns about their academic life, please refer them to our office.  We want our students to be academically successful, and have tailored and created a variety of programs to help them along their way to a Gonzaga degree.  Please visit our website for more information about our office, and contact information, at www.gonzaga.edu/academicservices.
