Note from the Associate Provost
I’m very pleased that you have chosen Washington College and I look forward to welcoming you in person at Summer Advising, a program on campus in June for new students and their families. At Summer Advising you will hear from faculty members about their expectations for students’ academic work, learn about college resources, get your washcoll.edu email account, and meet with a faculty summer advisor to register for Fall 2012 courses.
In the meantime, I’m sure you’re wondering about the transition from high school student to college student. I recommend
- “How is College Different From High School” a good short introduction to college academic life by the staff of the Altshuler Learning Enhancement Center at Southern Methodist University
- “The Fifteen Habits of Top College Students” by professors Lynn F. Jacobs and Jeremy S. Hyman of the education site of US News and World Report.
In your first year at Washington College, you will have a faculty advisor who has volunteered to advise a group of first year students and is well trained and prepared for advising. You will meet as a group and individually with your faculty advisor during New Student Orientation in August. Your first year advisor will be available to you until you choose a major and are re-assigned to an advisor in your major.
