Hi Buff families,ÌýÌýÌý

It is hard to believe we are almost at the end of the fall semester! With students on break this week and the season slowly transitioning to winter, this is a great time for Buffs to center themselves before returning for the last few weeks of classes.ÌýÌý

Time with family and loved ones can help students recharge and strengthen their connection to community. I hope you get the chance to talk or be with your student this week and check in on how they are doing. After fall break, know that the Division of Student Affairs is here to provide support and offer opportunities for students to gather with peers and find community.ÌýÌý

To prepare for the end of the semester, your student can visit colorado.edu/finals to find everything they need, including the final exams schedule, student events and campus resources. Please encourage your student to stop by in the University Memorial Center (UMC) on Dec. 11. They can get ready for final exams with a free, nourishing meal provided by Student Affairs staff. I will be at the event to wish our Buffs good luck on finals, and I hope to see your student there! There will be additional events happening around finals to help students take breaks, stay connected and finish strong.ÌýÌý

Over the next few weeks, I encourage you to stay in touch with your student. You can support them by listening and helping them come up with a strategy to better enable their success. Additionally, help your student reflect on and celebrate their achievements. Whether they are finishing their first or final year at ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Boulder, your Buff has worked incredibly hard and deserves a moment of recognition. Encourage them to be proud of their accomplishments and to treat themselves!Ìý

Take care, Buff families. I wish your Buff good luck on finals and a wonderful winter season.Ìý ÌýÌý

Warmly,Ìý
Dr. D'Andra MullÌý
Vice Chancellor for Student AffairsÌý
