Bronco Family Newsletter

Greetings Bronco Family,

Happy (almost) Fall! At this point, your student has moved onto campus or adjusted to commuting, attended classes for about two weeks, sat in on their first club meeting, attended an on-campus event, eaten at one of our campus eateries, submitted an assignment, and, most importantly, fully matriculated to the Bronco Family. For those of you supporting a first-time, transfer, or returning student, we encourage you to celebrate your student's successes over these last couple of weeks. Do not undermine the value of your wisdom and support! Please keep reading to learn about our Fall Harvest, Bronco Family Chat, MSI Family and Friends BBQ, Upcoming Career Fairs, Instant Access Complete Program, and Add/Drop Period.
