Please check with your incoming student to see if he/she has completed the mandatory online course called Think About It by Campus Clarity. All new students (including athletes and other early arrival students) are required to complete the course by August 31st. An email was sent to each student’s Gustavus email account on August 1st, with a link and instructions to access the course. As of today, 176 first year students have signed up to begin the course and less than 100 have finished all parts. Please check in with your student to find out about their progress on the course and their plans for completion. If they did not receive the email or cannot find it, have them contact the Dean of Students Office at dos@gustavus.edu to get the invitation and link re-sent.
Think About It prepares new college students for the unique challenges and responsibilities of college life. Focusing on minimizing the risks associated with alcohol, drugs and sexual violence, Think About It takes a harm-reduction approach that resonates with students and results in a healthy campus culture that fosters learning and growing intellectually.
