Tips for Families and Supporters
与你的学生保持联系——你的支持和指导对你的学生的成功很重要!
第一代大学生的家庭和支持者经常想知道他们的大学生生活发生了什么. Without a similar experience of your own, the CC campus environment might seem unfamiliar, 这可能会让你很难找到一种与学生联系的方式. 这里有一些建议,可以帮助你保持联系,并显示你对学生学业目标的支持.
- Remind your student that they belong at CC! 如果你对你的学生表现出信心,他们也会对自己更有信心. 特意提醒他们,他们已经足够优秀了,他们和其他人一样值得上大学.
- Remember that 追求高等教育并不意味着学生们会失去他们成长过程中的价值观, but you can expect a few changes. 学生在课堂内外的经历会影响他们的社会生活, vocational, and personal choices. 当他们纠结于自己的选择和“弄清楚事情”时,你的关心和关心是很重要的. Ask questions.
- Acknowledge the successes and the challenges.如果你的学生不知道如何面对挑战,他们就不会在CC学习. However, college is hard, and even though students take just one class per block, studying on the Block Plan can be really hard. College students are under a lot of pressure, and many consistently report feeling stressed and anxious. 任何你能做的减少或消除家庭压力的事情都可以帮助你的学生保持正轨和专注.
- Be patient. College is a learning process for both you and your student. If you learn about campus resources, 你会更加熟悉你的学生正在经历的事情,并且可以提醒你的学生,当他们有问题向你求助时,校园里有很多资源可以提供帮助.
- Encourage your student to build relationships and find mentors. In addition to their "home team" of family and friends, your student needs people who can listen to them, help them problem-solve, and keep them on track. 他们可以从和他们感觉舒服的人开始——宿舍的宿舍管理员或校园工作的工作人员, for instance - and then build their "CC team" from there.
- Remember that balance is important. Studying all of the time can sometimes be counterproductive. 您的学生将通过参与俱乐部和活动来增加他们在CC的归属感,这些活动可以平衡学业压力并给他们带来快乐.
- 要意识到你的学生可能不能像你希望的那样经常给你打电话或回家. They will have many different responsibilities, and learning to balance them will be a new experience, especially during the first year. 设定一个固定的时间和你的学生交流,这样你们就会对交流的频率有相同的期望. Plan to visit your student, if possible. Family and Friends Weekend is a great time to come to campus!
