Greetings, Salem College parents and families!

It’s hard to believe we’re almost halfway through the semester, and Fall Break is just days away! As the leaves begin to change in Old Salem, we are excited to launch our new Parent & Family Newsletter to begin sharing with you highlights about events and programs at Salem as the seasons continue to change.

Looking at the weeks ahead, our students are busily preparing for midterm exams and writing their first papers, so it’s a great time for you to send them a note of encouragement - or better yet - a surprise delivery pizza for a late night study session with friends!

Here are a few important reminders about dates and deadlines that are fast approaching. Feel free to remind your students, and mark your calendars, too!

• Jan Term Registration Begins: October 2 (All students register for one course. Business Office holds must be cleared to register.)

• Fall Break: October 7-10

• Family Weekend: November 3-5

Congratulations on all of your hard work so far this semester! (Yes, we know that family encouragement and support greatly contributes to student success!) We hope that you enjoy hearing more about what’s going on at Salem this fall and that we might see you on campus for Family Weekend in a few weeks!

Sincerely,

Krispin Barr, Ph.D.

Dean of Students
