STUDENT ADVICE
Here we provide advice from current students to help you better understand and connect with your student in their college careers.
Midterms ? | As midterms are coming up here are some tips on how to best support your student for success:
- Time management: Students can have busy school schedules, including work for some. It’s important for your student to have a schedule for classes, clubs, work, and family. Help them create a study schedule with an academic planner.
- Utilize Resources: Campus resources such as the SACC tutoring center have available online and in-person appointments to help with classes. Students are also welcome at Baruch’s Newman Library to study, do work, or lounge.
- Ask Questions: if your student is struggling in class, encourage them to reach out to their professor. Professors offer office hours for students to ask questions!
- Take Breaks: Burnout is real. And mental and physical health is important. Understand that college may be challenging and stressful! Check in on your student and remind them to get good rest.

March 09, 2023 | #GameOnBearcats ? The first-ever Students vs. Faculty and Staff Basketball game was hosted in the Athletics & Recreation Complex (ARC) Arena.
