Top Tips for Maintaining Wellness: Encourage your Student to Live Well, Be Well Did you know that eight of the top 10 reasons why students struggle in their first year of college are health and wellness related? Concerns like stress, sleep problems, depression, anxiety and alcohol abuse have been linked to failure in college. Partner with us to ensure these issues don’t become barriers to your student’s success. To help you enhance your student’s overall well-being, encourage them to: •
Select healthier foods and never skip breakfast – Breakfast can improve energy levels, help maintain focus in the classroom and increase the overall quality of a student’s diet. Students should choose leaner protein options, make half their grains whole grains and consume plenty of fruits and vegetables.
www.universityparent.com/missouristate
•
Utilize Taylor Health and Wellness Center – Should your student become ill, Taylor Health and Wellness Center provides free general office visits and immunizations.
•
Maintain hydration – Dehydration is often mistaken for hunger. Your student should keep bottled water close by and limit their consumption of beverages high in sugar or caffeine. 15
16
•
Stay physically active – Campus Recreation offers numerous ways students can be physically active at all hours of the day. Remind them to take a tour of the fitness center, try a BearFIt class or take advantage of outdoor adventure trips. Physical activity is a great way for students to manage their stress and meet new people.
•
Recharge with sleep – It is recommended that 7–9 hours of sleep is crucial for optimum performance inside and outside of the classroom.
•
Get connected with friends and organizations – While loneliness can be a normal part of the college transition, students who are socially connected and engaged on campus cope better with homesickness. Students should be encouraged to ask a friend if they are feeling overwhelmed and need help.
•
Address signs of stress early – Forgetfulness, moodiness and fatigue can all be early signs of stress. Bears need to make stress management a part of their everyday college life.
•
Create a care plan – If emotional concerns of mood, anxiety or substance use have been a part of your student’s past, ensure you have a plan for how these emotional care needs will be met. The Counseling Center can help you navigate the best treatment options. Missouri State University
A Family’s Guide to FERPA The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) protects your student’s privacy and grants him or her exclusive right to view and share education records such as grades, transcripts, disciplinary records, contact information and class schedules. Under this law, colleges and universities may not disclose education records to anyone other than the student — including parents and family members. www.universityparent.com/missouristate
These restrictions are often frustrating to family members, particularly to those paying college bills. Rather than seeing these restrictions as obstacles to helping your student, we encourage you to view them as an opportunity to have important discussion with your student. Relationships between families and students are strengthened when your student is provided independence to grow and support when he or she makes mistakes. When it comes to grades and academic work, talk to your student as an adult. Share your opinions, but respect his or her decisions, too.
17
Help establish trust and communication in your relationship with your student through the following means: •
Help your student set academic goals for studying and grades early in the semester; periodically check to see if your student is meeting these goals.
•
Ask questions about your student’s classes and what he or she is learning; show that you’re interested in more than just grades.
•
Show support during stressful times like finals week by sending encouraging emails and care packages.
•
After supporting your student through the whole semester, ask if he or she will share grades with you. Respect his or her decision, whatever it might be. Continue to support your student academically.
•
We understand that working within the restrictions of FERPA can be challenging, but remember that this law is intended for your student to take personal responsibility for his or her transcript and financial obligations. Encourage your student to take ownership over his education — and to discuss his or her education with you every once in a while.
Additional information about FERPA can be found at missouristate.edu/registrar/ FERPA.html.
18
Partners in Education (PIE) Program Partners in Education is a program which aims to help first-year students and their families build a relationship of trust and communication, with the goal of improving students’ academic success and retention. By enrolling in the program, students can grant a designated partner (usually a parent or family member) authorization to access information regarding the student’s academic progress for their first year. The partner will also be mailed the student’s mid-term and final grade reports. Students may withdraw permission to release information to the partner at any time. Students can enroll by visiting the Partners in Education link on the Academics tab of their My Missouri State portal. Contact the academic assistance office at (417) 836-5034 or visit www.missouristate.edu/sdpa/ PartnersInEducation.htm to learn more. Please note that only the academic assistance office personnel may release academic information to the partner indicated on the PIE form. Missouri State University

Study Away (international. missouristate.edu/studyaway) offers experiences in more than 70 different countries, ranging anywhere from one week up to one academic year.

Your student has many options for dining at Missouri State including three dining halls, a food court in the Plaster Student Union, and Outtakes in Strong Hall and Meyer Library.

Refer your student to the leadership development website (missouristate.edu/studentengagement/ leadership) for more information. Missouri State University
Advice From the Experts My best advice is to encourage your son/daughter to begin the process of selfassessment early in his/her career at MSU. It is important to remember this is a time of personal growth and development. Encourage your student to try a variety of classes, to think about obtaining some relevant experience either through a part-time job or internship, and to remember they are the ones who will be going to work every day. Encourage them to take something they are passionate about and translate that into a career. “Follow Your Passion…Find Your Place.” Jill Wiggins, Director – MSU Career Center
Academic advisors support students as they make educational plans and encourage students to get the best possible education at Missouri State University. Urge your student to meet with his or her advisor early in the first semester, and frequently throughout college. While advisors are here to support students, students make the ultimate decisions. Encourage your student to be actively involved in the academic planning process by reading the undergraduate catalog, keeping up with the academic calendar, and learning to read a degree audit. If your student does not feel comfortable with the assigned advisor after two or three advising sessions, sometimes it’s a good idea to ask the departmental office for a change in advisor. Each student deserves a knowledgeable, caring academic advisor to offer support, give accurate information, and provide guidance. Kathy Davis, Director – Advisement Center
Going off to college is a transition for your student and for you… so, allow them to have the time and space necessary to adjust to college life. Make sure that she/he knows you are always there when they really need you. But, try to let them make their own decisions and sometimes their own mistakes. Check in every so often (but not too often) and schedule your visits ahead of time. Dr. Dee Siscoe, Vice President for Student Affairs www.universityparent.com/missouristate
21
Conversation Starters for Families Try these five questions to get the conversation flowing with your student:
1 2 3 4 5
What campus events have you attended? What groups have you joined? If you haven’t joined one yet, have you found some that interest you?
What would you put in a time capsule that showcases your freshman year in college?
What is your plan if you get sick? Have you been to Taylor Health and Wellness?
How are you managing your workload? What is your study schedule?
How are you maintaining a healthy lifestyle?
22
Missouri State University
There’s Nothing to Do… Involvement is an important aspect of your student’s college experience. Students who are involved outside the classroom develop valuable leadership skills and learn how to maintain a great balance between their social and academic life. If your student tells you “There’s nothing to do on campus” remind him/her about the resources that were presented at SOAR.
www.universityparent.com/missouristate
Suggest visiting the Office of Student Engagement website (missouristate.edu/ studentengagement) to check out the events calendar and explore the many options, including the following: •
Encourage them to attend Welcome Weekend events. The Office of Student Engagement (missouristate.edu/welcome) has a full weekend of events planned to help your student acclimate to Missouri State. With lots of events to choose from such as Bear Bash, Playfair and the New Student Festival, your student is bound to find things that interest them and connects them with new friends and resources. 23
•
Remind them to read the E-Bulletin, (blogs.missouristate.edu/ebulletin) a weekly e-newsletter that arrives in their student email every Wednesday, sharing information about upcoming events, programs, activities and important deadlines.
•
Remind your student to take part in MSU campus traditions. There are many celebrated fun Missouri State traditions, including Homecoming, Bear Breaks, Maroon Madness, and Rock-n-Bowl they can attend or help plan! The Traditions Council is a great organization for your student to join and leave a legacy on the campus.
•
Suggest they attend an athletic event. It’s a great way to generate school spirit and have fun with friends and classmates. With 16 NCAA sanctioned sports teams represented at MSU, there is always an athletic event to attend. The schedule for all teams can be found at missouristatebears.com.
•
24
Encourage your student to check Twitter for upcoming events and opportunities. Twitter is a great way to keep up with activities on campus. From @MOSTATEOSE (Office of Student Engagement), to
@ClifSmart and @MOStateService (volunteer opportunities) to @BearsFamilies (a resource for our family members also) plus many more, your student will be “in the know” about the Missouri State campus. •
Suggest they join a campus organization. With more than 300 organizations (organizations. missouristate.edu/guide) on campus, your student’s options are wide-open. From academic and professional organizations and special interest groups to fraternities and sororities and multicultural student organizations, there are so many ways to get involved!
•
Encourage them to join R.E.A.L. Bears (Recruiting Emerging Alumni Leaders). R.E.A.L Bears (alumni. missouristate.edu/realbears) is sponsored by the Missouri State University Alumni Association. R.E.A.L. Bears is about getting involved with the University, developing leadership skills, connecting with alumni, building relationships, community service and much more.
Missouri State University
Advice from Seasoned Family Members “Have a conversation about time management. Up to this point in their lives, someone else has kept them on schedule. It’s their turn now. Give them a planner and talk about the importance of being aware of all of their commitments. Encourage them to plan ahead.” “Keep a positive attitude with your student even if the first semester isn’t going like everyone had hoped. Remind them of resources available on campus. Encourage your student to meet with their professors when they are struggling with a class.” “Really encourage your son or daughter to get plugged in with student activities/groups on campus, as soon as possible. New experiences are so much easier to navigate and survive when you are going through them with others, especially when some of those others have already been there.” “Understand that your student is going to pursue their own interests — even if you wonder where it’s leading! They are entering the next chapter of their life and it’s theirs to run with. Let them know you are supportive and love them whatever course their life takes.” www.universityparent.com/missouristate
25
Missouri State Traditions BearWear Friday – Show your colors and wear your BearWear every Friday! Homecoming – Homecoming is a spiritfilled, Maroon and White celebration of Missouri State. Alumni return to reminisce about their days at MSU and students take part in numerous activities such as “Can You Build It,” Yell like Hell, RockStar and the Homecoming Parade. The week culminates with tailgating at BearFest Village and cheering on the Bears at the football game.
Alma Mater – The Alma Mater is also a long-standing University tradition. This tune, the traditional “alumni” song of Missouri State, is performed at every commencement ceremony and sometimes played at athletic events or other ceremonies. Photo with the Bear Statue – Students document their first and last day of college with a photo with the Bear Statue, located in front of the Plaster Student Union.
Welcome Weekend – Welcome Weekend is a must for new students. Events such as Bear Bash, Playfair, New Student Festival and the New Student Convocation engage the students with the University and offer opportunities to meet new people and have fun at the same time. Fight Song – The current Missouri State University Fight Song was adopted in the 1960s. “The Scotsman” has been a University tradition for nearly 50 years, and is an important aspect of Missouri State athletic events, pep rallies, and other gatherings.

Missouri State University
Ask a Bear! Name three things you recommend new Bears do during their first year at Missouri State. I think all new Bears should meet as many people on their floor as they can, go to the Kentwood Dining Center and the Union Club (the best kept secrets on campus!), and play at least one intramural sport in their first year. – Michael Brinkmeyer, junior
How did your involvement on campus help you during your freshman year? It was a great way to meet people and become connected to the University. I didn’t just go to the school, I was a part of the school! Once you are involved in one thing, the doors keep opening up! There are so many paths and avenues you just have to jump in and start somewhere. – Reina Hill, senior
Share some study tips that helped your transition from high school to college classes. I never had to study much in high school. It was hard for me to focus for long periods of studying. One thing that I learned to do is take my notes from class and try to turn them into questions that I think I’d see on the test. During class I mark material that I think is likely to be an essay question, and before the test I write potential questions that I think I’ll see. – Matt Hinken, senior www.universityparent.com/missouristate
27
What was your biggest shock/challenge about the change from high school to college? The different lifestyles that I had not experienced before. Different does not mean better or worse, it just means that there are new experiences and people to meet and get to know in order to broaden your perspective on life. – Jordan McGee, senior
What conversation do you wish you had with your family before starting your first year of college? When coming to college, I wish I would have talked to my parents about money. I really wasn’t sure what I should be paying for or how to really use money in college. My dad went to college for a few semesters, but other than that, I am a first generation college student. We weren’t sure how much extra money I would need, so that was something I had to figure out as I went along. – Kristi Patrickus, senior
What is one piece of advice you would give to families who are “letting their student grow” for the first time? One piece of advice I would give to parents is let their student learn responsibility. Going off to college is their time to learn how to make their schedule, handle their own obligations and to stay on top of things. They do not need their families making sure that they are doing everything they are supposed to do. It’s okay to check up on them from time to time to see how they are doing but let them be the one to uphold that responsibility. – Justin Roberts, junior
