Student Transitions & Family Programs

As we begin the semester, we want to highlight a few upcoming programs, events, and resources you may find useful.

Parent & Family Weekend | November 1 - 3, 2024
|
Parent & Family Weekend is a great opportunity to reconnect with your family by showing them your favorite study spot or coffee shop on campus, exploring St. Louis attractions, catching a WashU Bears football game, and more. If your family is interested in attending, encourage them to view our schedule of events, purchase tickets and t-shirts, and plan their visit.

Second-Year Student Associates (2SAs)
|
2SAs (pronounced "two-suh") serve as your academic and personal mentors and help you engage with activities at WashU.
Every two weeks this semester, 2SAs will spend two hours answering questions about academic deadlines (e.g., add/drop, course registration, etc.), helping you find involvement opportunities on campus, and making connections with you and your peers.
At each 2SA Hours, you will form connections with other sophomores through fun activities and exciting giveaways. We encourage you to attend, bring a sophomore friend, and get to know your 2SA as they can be a helpful resource for you.
Mark your calendar for these 2SA Hours in September:
|
- September 11 from 7:00 - 9:00 PM at Ursa's Fireside
-
September 25 from 7:00 - 9:00 PM at Ursa's Fireside

The Center for Counseling and Psychological Services (CCPS) offers a wide range of group therapy experiences to meet the diverse needs of our students. Individual therapy tends to be the go-to for mental health support; however, group therapy is an equally effective source of support - and in some cases even more effective. The power of group therapy lies in the relationships, which are built on mutual curiosity and shared vulnerability.
