| Off To A Great
Start! |
Welcome Week and Orientation was a great
success for the entire campus. The resident
assistants, small group leaders, faculty and staff
members helped move students into the
residence halls on August 18.
Students then enjoyed residence hall activities,
the annual student vs. faculty/staff softball game, ice
cream social with President Ingram, activities fair,
traditions night, bowling at KSU Union, and the
luau party.
Student Council has chosen "Identity" as this
year's theme which students will continue to learn about
through chapel services and other events throughout the
year. All of the activities were a great way to start
off the college
year!! | | |

| Seasonal Student Issues |
|
There's a seasonal ebb and flow when it comes to student
issues. Here are a few things your student may be experiencing
this fall:
September:
- Exploration and acknowledgment of personal values
- Long distance relationship strain
- Feeling of loneliness and homesickness may increase
- A desire to feel connected to campus
- Roommate adjustments
Helping your Student This
Month:
- Be involved in their life but don't overwhelm them with
tons of phone calls, e-mails, or text messages
- Encourage getting involved in a ministry or activity on
campus
- Suggest ways to incorporate physical activity into their
schedule
- Have positive, open and encouraging
conversations

MCC employee (faculty, staff, or work-study student) to share
