Freshman Women Transition Group

The transition to college is both exhilarating and a bit overwhelming at times.  Let's face it, it is thrilling to meet new people, experience greater independence and discover new interests.  However, along with this excitement, also comes some anxiety about a harder work load, being away from the comforts of home and finding one's own niche. Counseling Services is pleased to announce the formation of a new support group to assist freshman women in creating connections and easing the stress of this time of transition.  We hope this group will provide a safe place to celebrate joys, sort through confusion and work through concerns.  The group is open to all freshman women and will be held on campus once a week.  Date and time will be determined by the group members and facilitator.  If you are a freshman woman or know of any freshman who would benefit from this valuable group experience, please contact Jill Langridge, x5379 or jlangrid@bridgewater.edu
