Dear Families and Supporters,
We are off to an exciting spring semester, and Commencement will be here before we know it. The campus is alive and active, despite the snow and cold temperatures that we have had.
The Office of Student Affairs is currently holding interviews for our next group of Resident Advisors. This is an exciting time in our office, and we are anxious to see the team we put together for the 2023-2024 year. At Midland our RAs are an integral piece of student success. In the fall semester this group put together 95 programming options for our students and had 2,160 touchpoints with our residents.
Important discussion topics to have with your student:
Spring break-residence halls close Saturday, March 4th at noon and reopen on Sunday, March 12th at noon.
Housing renewal-this is the time for current students to be involved in the selection of their housing placement for next year. March 1st students will be able to take the Parade of Halls tour and look at rooms in other residence halls. Please make sure you are aware of our 4 semester on-campus residency requirement as you are having conversations with your student about their housing intentions for Fall 2023.
Spring 2023 hall closing- The residence halls close at noon on Saturday, May 6th. All students must be checked out by noon on Saturday unless they are graduating on May 6th or working for Midland University over the summer.
You are our partners in helping ensure your student’s success at Midland. Please never leave a question unanswered. We are just an email away at studentaffairs@midlandu.edu.
Encourage your student to finish spring semester strong. Send them a note, care package or Venmo a little money for a coffee to let them know you are thinking about them and supporting them on their college journey.
Best,
Kris Dvorak-Director of Student & Resident Services
