Family Weekend is right around the corner! Join us October 14-17 for a fall tradition that is a great opportunity to connect with your student and with CU Boulder staff and faculty. There are three packages for families to purchase, but all available packages include a t-shirt, a clear game day bag and swag. Please register by October 1 to avoid a price increase. Packages are sold on a first-come-first serve basis, so once they sell out, our registration will be closed. We will also be adding a few additional Ralphie packages since this option sold out quickly. Learn more and register today!

In this week’s newsletter, we are sharing info about fall career fairs, leadership opportunities for your student and more!

Resident advisor applications open
Encourage your student to apply to be a Resident Advisor for the 2022-23 academic year. They will gain valuable leadership skills and will have a chance to make an impact on the residential community at CU. Applications open through Oct. 15.

Leadership opportunities for students
Finding ways to be a leader during college can be valuable for students. Leadership comes in different forms, and there are many ways your student can develop skills and gain experience for their resume. Whether your student is looking to get involved or become a leader on campus, here are some programs that can help them get to where they want to be.

Career fairs and events
Is your student looking for an internship or job? The best place for students to meet with potential employers is at career fairs and events. Career Services has a variety of resources and weekly workshops to help students prepare for career fairs, write resumes, practice for interviews and more. Learn about getting started with Career Services.

5 signs of depression you shouldn't ignore
During this time of the year our students are working to navigate campus, foster new friendships and adjust to increasingly busy schedules. These types of transitions can lead to situational depressive episodes, or worsen existing depression. Whether it’s related to their current circumstances or something more longstanding, depressive symptoms can cause major disruptions to our students’ lives. Here are common symptoms of depression as well as resources and ways to support a student or loved one who is struggling.
