Parent and Family Programs Survey
WMU appreciates parents and family members as valued partners in your student's education and we strive to provide appropriate and timely communications and programming through the Parent and Family Programs office.
We know that parents and family members use information in many different ways. We invite you to take a survey about the services offered through Parent and Family Programs and if those services are meeting your needs.
The survey will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. Participation is voluntary, anonymous, and will not affect your (or your student's) current or future relationship with WMU.
In appreciation for your time, we invite you to enter a drawing at the conclusion of the survey for a Family Weekend 2016 package, including tailgate, football, and Sunday brunch tickets.

Final exams are April 25-29. Remind your student that the final exam schedule can be found on the Registrar's website.
The end of the semester is often a stressful time for students as they finish up projects, huge papers and prepare for exams. Here are some tips to help manage stress that may be helpful to share with your student:
- Ask questions--Don't hesitate to ask for help. All professors have office hours designed for one-on-one interaction with students. If you don't understand something, get help now.
- Stay healthy--Remember to eat well-balanced meals, drink plenty of water and get exercise daily. It's easy to forget these things when you're busy, but your body needs fuel to keep going and exercise to relieve excess stress. Take a breather from your studies. You'll work better after a short walk or a healthy meal.
- Get rest--Staying up all night studying or hanging out with friends can be detrimental to your progress now. Your body needs sleep to function. Pulling an all-nighter might seem like a good idea, but you'll just burn out earlier the following day. Stay on track, get plenty of sleep and catch up with friends and family once you're finished with your finals.
 If your student needs a final exam "pick me up", a care package from home is always appreciated. No time? Consider a treat from the WMU Gold'n Brown Bakery. They offer a variety of options and delivery to the residence halls.
