IN THE LOOP	West Coast Area September 2008

Dear ,

Can you believe that it's already September? Most of you have been on Co-op for over two months and are comfortable settling in the new environments. During this time of year everything seems busy due to returning students arriving back at school and moving into their apartments. Aren't you glad that you don't have to do that this year? The chaos that thousands of students bring to the city each Fall might seem overwhelming, but it will bring changes and add variety and energy to the surrounding community.
September is a great month to celebrate the end of summer, so go ahead and spend some time outdoors before it gets cold! This is the last opportunity to attend summer events, and I hope that you will have a chance to do that.

We always welcome student feedback and ideas, so if you have any suggestions or would like us to organize an event for Co-op students, e-mail us at coopconnections@neu.edu.

Fall 2008 Survey

Here at Co-op Connections we are working hard to make sure you have everything you need while embarking on your real-life working experience away from Northeastern. It's through your feedback that we can strengthen and support our students to help them achieve a happier and healthier co-op experience.

Take our Co-op Connections Survey and tell us what you really think! Your opinion means lot to us and we want to know how we can make your co-op experience more desirable. Your input will help shape the support and services we provide to future students just like you.

Share with us your experiences on transitioning into the working world. Thanks for your help!
