Welcome back from summer break. We hope you had a relaxing time and are ready to begin the semester.
Don't forget to check the Office of the Registrar if you have any questions about important dates or if you are preparing to graduate in December.
Even if you're not graduating this semester, please remember there are several key resources that can come in handy for your college experience.
You'll want to make use of the state-of-the-art university libraries for researching ideas and to use as a quiet place to study. The Writing Center also is a valuable resource for proofreading final projects and gaining tangible writing ideas.
Before you turn in a project or take an exam, take a few minutes and unwind with the meditation room at 411 Becht Hall. This relaxing space is one of several lounges in Becht Hall where you can take a break.
Becht Hall serves as a hub for student services such as the Advising Services Center in 435 Becht Hall, Tutoring and Testing in 324 Becht Hall and Career Services in 419 Becht Hall. Another important service is campus Counseling Services in 256 Becht Hall. Trained counselors are there to help you deal with life's issues and concerns.
Please take note that the Clarion University Store is now located in the Suites on Main South along U.S. Route 322. Take advantage of the book center for all of your Clarion University merchandise and textbooks.
Finally, don't forget to make time for fun – an important part of the college experience. There are more than 140 campus organizations with which you can get involved, a campus movie theater, as well as downtown shops and restaurants. Clarion University also is in close proximity to hiking trails and waterways for swimming, canoeing and kayaking.
Autumn Leaf Festival will be held Sept. 24 to Oct. 2 with the parade on Saturday, Oct. 1, which coincides
with our homecoming festivities. You won't want to miss the way the town and university
come together for this event.
Have a successful fall semester as a Courageous. Confident. Golden Eagle.
