A Lifeline for Your Students: “The UA Survivor Guide” in the Arizona Daily Wildcat
By Beth Harrison, Ph. D.
In 2006-07 the University Learning Center received a generous grant from the UA Parents & Family Association to help support a new project: We wanted to ask students to write a weekly ‘survival guide’ article for the campus newspaper, the Arizona Daily Wildcat. We figured that successful students would be the best people to help other students become more effective learners and that students would listen more to their peers than to campus professionals.
Students and faculty across campus have told us that they read the “Survivor Guide” regularly and find the advice in it both timely and valuable. Some faculty even recommend the articles to the students in their classes. The series continues this year with more funding from the UA Parents & Family Association, so you may want to suggest that your student look at the bottom of page 3 in the Wildcat every Wednesday for tips and ideas about how to make the most of their time in college.

"Grey’s Anatomy" is the favorite television show of Leah Durnin, the 2007-08 President of the UA Residence Hall Association (RHA), one of the largest student organizations on campus. It inspired her to create and submit a program at the National Association for College and University Residence Halls (NACURH).
