Why Freshmen Should Attend Mid-Semester Check

The fourth week of the fall semester is already upon us and we have arrived at a very critical point in time.  This is especially true for those of you who are freshmen.

Necessary Adjustments

Some of you may be struggling in one or more of your classes and are in need of some help.  Now is the time to seek that help – there is still time to turn things around.  If you wait much longer, however, it may be too late to make up lost ground.  Others are enjoying a great deal of success and should be looking for ways to continue in that same path, sharpening your study and time management skills.  Some of you desire to be a leader on the NEBRASKA campus, but aren’t quite sure what you need to do in order to get yourself there.

Enter Mid-Semester Check.

What is it?

What is Mid-Semester Check, you ask?  Well, to begin, it’s something you should plan to attend.  It is a program that provides you with an opportunity to take an honest look at where you are sitting thus far in your college career and make the necessary adjustments to ensure a successful first, second, third, and fourth year as a college student.

I sat down with Associate Dean of Admissions and Director of New Student Enrollment, Pat McBride, in order to gather some more specific details about the program.  Pat also offers some tips on how to make the most of your Mid-Semester Check experience:
