and can be stressful to both the parent and student. A great way to
reduce stress and assist with the transition is to be involved with
your new college student’s life after they arrive on campus.

- Send care packages
- Connect regularly with your student through cards, photos and e-mails
- Sign up to receive The Campus Link
