Celebrating the start of a new school, year, the FYF returns to the air with a great show featuring Chandra Shipley, the Director of Academic Advising who talks about your student's first course registrations, the first days of classes and the Academic Skills Series--designed to help make good students better students and support first year students adjustment to college-level work and rigor.  We'll also give a listen to the keynote address by Dr. Carmela Ferradons, the featured speaker at your student's First Year Convocation.  Her address is a celebration of the liberal arts and contains wishes and supports for your student's liberal arts journey.  Richard Von Helms, from the Class of 2020, stops by to talk about his own academic journey as the liberal arts tapped him on the shoulder while studying marketing.  Here, Richard found a love and passion for graphic design, and has spent the summer working in the Dean of Student's Office creating visual outreach for the academic theme for the year--Changing Climates.  We think our students have interesting stories to tell and insights on the student experience, and Richard is charming and insightful as he reflects on his academic choices, interests and offers advice to both new students and their parents.  We wrap with some talking points, and are so excited for the next weeks to bring more opportunities to share information and ideas to help parents support their students through the transition from HS to college...on the First Year Frequency!
