What's Ahead
Dear Students, I had a plan to write something about our amazing student services this week. And while we still have a dedicated staff that work tirelessly for CNS students, it seemed impossible not to write something this week about the election results. First, this is a community that had a responsibility to one another before the elect...Citizens of the World
Dear Students, Tomorrow is Election Day, and the citizens of our city, state, and nation will be electing new leaders. Some of you can and will exercise your right to vote. Others of you likely already have, given the long lines I've seen at the FAC for early voting. But now is a great time for everyone to reflect on the larger purpose of your...Now That is Scary
Dear Students, You find yourself alone in your room. It is dark. Quiet. Too quiet. It is uncomfortably warm and you toss and turn trying to sleep. You bolt up out of bed with a fright!

In case you missed it, there are a bazillion students in CNS, and our tireless advising sta...You are CNS
Dear Students, We are a ways into the semester and it is a good time to check on where you are standing. Some of you may be cruising along. Others might have run into some difficulties. It is important to remember that there are a whole host of folks here who are ready to help you: from academic advisors to faculty, graduate teaching assistant...Hey, look over there — it’s a distraction
Dear Students, Just when you are getting down to some serious studying, your phone sends an alert. Actually, your phone is sending you an alert every three seconds as another Snap arrives, your photo was liked on Instagram, or some other notification is pushed to you. Not only are we constantly bombarded electronically, but there are distracti...Off the couch
