How does FreshStart! Work?
FreshStart! is a weekly e-mail newsletter sent directly to your student. Each week they will receive tips, suggestions, and gentle reminders of things to think about and do. Messages in FreshStart! are geared for the appropriate time of the spring semester so your student will get the information that they need right when they need it.
As a college parent, you’ll be reassured that your student is being informed, prompted, and perhaps nudged in appropriate directions each week of the semester. You’ll be even more confident stepping back because you’ll know FreshStart! is there to coach them.
