Advice From A Student: How To Help Your College Student Midterm Season
My first step in preparing for midterms has always been to confirm what is being covered on the midterm exam for each of my classes and ask my professors what we should be focusing on. Once I have done that, I am able to build a study plan for each class. Not everyone is the same but I like to study in multiple different ways to make sure I understand it in the best way possible; I write notes, I reread assigned readings, I watch/listen to any videos or audios, etc. Studying can get tiring and the semester may be going rough but remember to have faith in yourself and to not give up. I realized I was just letting the pressure get to me when I questioned myself and my purpose here at thee college, so I had to remind myself of the reason why I started and to keep fighting. Be like Po (Kung Fu Panda).

Why Should You Be Active in the Parent and Family Association?
The Office of Student Transition Programs understands and recognizes the vital role parents and family members play in the academic success of their students. Because family members are a very important part of our College community, we will make every effort to promote family communication and involvement. Whether you are family members of new or returning students, we hope your experience with John Jay is positive and rewarding.

The purpose of the Parent and Family Association is to:
  • Assist family members in navigating campus resources, services, and programs
  • Assist family members in supporting their students and empowering them to take responsibility while enrolled at the College
  • Enhance communication between the College and family members
  • Develop a sense of community amongst John Jay families to provide support, advice, and opportunities for involvement.

This year, we will be sending newsletters, hosting webinars and virtual meet-ups!
