The College
Years: Challenges for Students and Parents |
| By
Dr. Wayne Hurr |
|
The college years
are a time of transition for students and parents. This
transition period provides both exciting opportunities and
stressful challenges. It is natural for students to experience
some anxiety when moving away from parents, siblings, friends,
neighborhood, and everything that they have come to experience
as familiar and safe. |

Shedding LIGHT on the “Dark Days of December” |
| By
Pamela Galligan-Stierle |
|

literally and figuratively “dark” in the lives of college students.
With fewer daylight hours, final exams and papers looming, and
anticipation rising over winter break and holidays, many students
can become increasingly stressed or even depressed during these last
few days of the fall semester. An additional concern for some
students, especially first years, is the transition from the
residence hall back to family life. |

Leadership in Education about Diversity |
|
By Stephanie R. Colunga |
|
Leadership in Education about Diversity (LEAD) was originally
established as a dynamic peer education leadership training program.
These activists work to raise awareness of prejudices in order to
promote open interaction between people of all backgrounds and in
turn, build a common understanding among a continually diversifying
Georgetown community. |
