Care packages are definitely a sign that you recognize your son or daughter's efforts. They can also say, "I miss you." Even if your student does not live on campus, a nice surprise at the end of a rough week can put a smile on his or her face.
The Orientation and New Student Programs office is proud of our first-year students, and we want to assist families in supporting student accomplishments. That is why we offer families an opportunity to purchase survival kits for students during final exams. Families receive a mailing mid-semester describing each of the package options. Students will be notified of the special package and the personalized note that accompanies it. Show your student that you care. All you have to do is choose the Care Package you want to send to your student, and we’ll take care of the rest!
Once you order your care package, students will be notified prior to finals via e-mail and phone call that they have a package waiting! They can pick up the package in our office. All packages must be picked up by the last day of finals. All unclaimed care packages will be donated to charity. If you have any questions about your order please call (516) 463-6320. Thank you for your participation and support.
