Fall in Love with Fall This Year!
We have many exciting events planned for you this month. See the calendar in this newsletter.
We also hope you’re off to a great start for an academically successful year. If there’s anything you need to help you succeed, let us know what we can do. Have you gotten a chance to meet your designated Community Assistant yet? If you’re not sure who your CA is, come by the office or give us a call to find out! Your CA is assigned to your zone and is here for you!

Get involved. Get ahead.
Did you know students who are involved outside of the classroom are more successful in their academic pursuits? If you haven’t already done so, we encourage you to find opportunities to get involved on campus and in the local community. Your campus’ student activities office is a great place to start to find out about clubs, organizations, and campus events. You can also connect with our team to find ways to get connected. Whether it’s the chess club or intramural football, or volunteering at a local shelter, we would love to help you find ways to get involved both at your Campus Advantage community and on campus.
