Fall Updates

We hope this message finds you well! As your student works through the semester and continues toward their goals, we know this time of year can bring added stress and challenges—especially with midterms on the horizon. Remind your student that they don’t have to navigate these challenges alone. RMU offers resources to help students stay on track, including tutoring and success coaches who can help them find their path to success. Just as important, encourage your student to take care of themselves along the way. RMU’s mental health resources and physical wellness programs are available to support their overall well-being.
