Things to know about your Watts College Student Experience
All first-year students will take ASU 101. This is a required course for all first-year students, and in Watts College, we spend time focusing on social problems. In this class, we will ask your student: What social problem do you care about? Why do you care about it? What can you do about it?
All of our first-year students attend ServeCon. This is a dynamic event exposing students to the exciting challenges they'll be taking on, while also serving as an opportunity to learn about future careers and to meet fellow students and faculty.
Encourage your student to branch out - join a new club, sign up for a leadership opportunity, study abroad.
Volunteer - your students will have some free time - encourage them the find an organization that they care about and spend that free time giving back to the community. This will help solidify their passion and commitment to public service.

Classes are getting harder, so do not forget to encourage your students to seek help! ASU tutoring and visiting faculty during office hours can have a huge impact on student success.
Find an internship! College is a great time to gain some professional experience without the commitment of a full-time job. Many majors in Watts College require internships or field experience in the senior year.
