FLI Compass Webinar
Please join us to engage with a panel of FLI students, staff, and parents on what to anticipate during the winter break and firsthand experiences in supporting and connecting with students during this extended time when students often return home. FLI students frequently share that their families are a primary source of support; and yet, winter break can be a challenging experience to navigate for families and students. At times, students return home with new and different experiences, boundaries, and expectations after some time away at college. In this session, our panelists will share how to make the most out of the winter break as a time of rest and reconnection to support students midway through the academic year.
