WELCOME FROM THE CHANCELLOR
Welcome from the First Year Center
Most of you have not had the opportunity
to visit us since late summer. Now that
we are nearly halfway through the fall
semester, there is a hum of activity
throughout the campus. Our student
organizations are in full swing, planning
many interesting and diverse events and
programs. Students are immersed in
their academic pursuits, spending time in
the residence hall study rooms, studios,
or in our many campus libraries where
they are reading, writing, and working
together on projects. Our new students
have made new friends, and our returning students have reconnected
with their classmates. Parent & Family Weekend is a time for us to share
our community with you, our families. As a parent myself, I know that all
of you are primarily here to spend time with your students, but I hope
you also have the opportunity to experience the Washington University
community during your short visit. Attend a course taught by one of our
internationally recognized faculty members. Visit Edison Theater to see the
Performing Arts Department’s presentation of Anon(ymous). Cheer on the
Washington University Bears as they take on the Hendrix College football
team on Saturday, October 11th. There is always much to do and see on
our campus, and I am delighted that you are able to join us. Please accept
my best wishes for a rewarding visit.
We are thrilled to welcome you to Washington University’s Parent & Family
Weekend! We look forward to hosting you on campus and we know your
student is excited to see you and show you around their new home. Over
the next couple of days, you will see how full your students’ lives have
become and how they are getting connected to our Washington University
community.
Sincerely yours,
- The First Year Center

Everything You Ever Wanted to Know
About the Career Center but Were

for Families
FRIDAY
OCTOBER 10
11:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Mark Smith, Associate Vice Chancellor

Faculty Spotlight: Movies on the Brain
Dr. Jeffrey M. Zacks, Department of Psychology
11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
McDonnell Hall, room 162
In 2009, 1.4 billion movie tickets were sold in the U.S. and Canada. What
compels us to pay money to sit in a dark room and stare for a couple hours
at a flickering patch of light? In his talk, Dr. Zacks will describe some of the
perceptual and cognitive mechanisms that make movies so compelling.
By measuring viewers’ brains and behavior, he has been trying to answer
questions such as: Why do audiences flinch when an on-screen boxer takes
a punch, or cry when a fictional character suffers a loss? How do viewers
parse a continuous stream of images into meaningful events and scenes?
How do we access our memories for characters and objects we just saw?
Although the focus of the talk will be on movies, ultimately the research is
intended to lead to improvements in education, in successful aging, and in
the treatment of neurological disorders.

series of contradictions—open and closed, ancient and modern,
ephemeral and rooted, highly structured and deeply idiosyncratic.
The competition seeks to re-imagine the sukkah for the 21st century.
The installation, consisting of ten finalist structures selected by a jury
of renown designers, is displayed on the Women’s Building Lawn
near Olin Library throughout Parent & Family Weekend.

Faculty Spotlight: THE BUSINESS
OF ALL:
SATURDAY
OCTOBER 11
Ferguson & Michael Brown. Structure & Denial
Professor Bob Hansman, College of
Architecture
11:30 AM - 12:15 PM
Wilson Hall, room 214
Things that are hard for some people to see are impossible for others not
to see. Ferguson, the Michael Brown shooting, and the violent and nonviolent reactions did not come out of nowhere. For that matter, St. Louis did
not arrive out of nowhere. But long before Ferguson arrived on the world’s
map, and certainly since then, myths and misconceptions about history, St.
Louis, and race have been repeated and passed on by people with little
knowledge of either the facts or the context.
This presentation will do its part to explain the real issues, dispel some
unexamined assumptions, correct some rewritten history, and hopefully
convince people that, in Mamie Till’s words, “what happens to any of us,
anywhere in the world, had better be the business of us all.”
Financial Responsibility: Starting a Conversation with Your
College Student
11:30 AM - 12:30 PM
Danforth University Center, room 276
Now is a good time to start a conversation with your student about financial
responsibility. For many students, the college experience provides an
opportunity to access credit cards for the first time. This opens the door
to on-line purchasing via computers as well as phone apps. Conversations
about budgeting, the use of student loans, the importance of building
good credit, setting up a bank account, the use of debit cards and credit
cards are fundamental to establishing sound financial habits. Amy Kweskin,
Associate Vice Chancellor for Finance and Treasurer will speak on financial
topics that should be discussed and the important role parents play in
helping their student develop financial responsibility. Amy will be joined by
Ben Kweskin, LA 2015, who will share the student’s perspective.

We hope you have an opportunity to explore the St. Louis area through the
various tours provided during Parent & Family Weekend. The city has so
much to offer outside of campus – here are some of our favorite spots!
Forest Park
Located in the heart of St. Louis, Forest Park is one of the largest public
parks in the country. Along with great running and walking trails, Forest Park
contains many St. Louis attractions including the Saint Louis Art Museum,
Missouri History Museum, Saint Louis Science Center, Saint Louis Zoo, and
The Muny, which is the U.S.’s biggest outdoor theatre. If you have some
time, take your family to explore this city treasure.
Tip: Check out the Grand Basin near the Art Museum. It’s a beautiful
remnant from the 1904 World’s Fair held in St. Louis.

Parent Programs
The First Year Center brings together people, programs, and resources to
assist new students in their transition to Washington University. We recognize
that family members often play a critical role in a student’s transition to
college life. The First Year Center supports family members beyond the first
year through hosting Parent & Family Weekend, coordinating the Family
Ties publication, and serving as a resource for questions you may have.
We recommend visiting our website firstyear.wustl.edu and click on the
“Parent & Family Resources” tab at the top of the page.
FAMILY TIES
Looking for a way to stay connected with campus? Family Ties is a quarterly
e-newsletter coordinated by The First Year Center and Parent Programs
that bridges the information gap between Washington University family
members and life on campus. Family Ties focuses its content on aspects of
student life occurring on campus at 4 major times of year. Sign up on-line at
http://alumni.wustl.edu/parents/Pages/family-ties-newsletter.aspx
Although geographically scattered, parents share a central value: they want
their students to have the very best undergraduate experience possible.
As a parent of a Washington University student, it is important you have
opportunities to connect with fellow parents and with the University. Here
are some of the ways parents can stay informed, involved, and connected:
• Subscribe to Family Ties, a quarterly e-newsletter that bridges the
information gap between WU family members and life on campus.
Go to http://alumni.wustl.edu/parents/Pages/family-ties-newsletter.

• Alumni & Parents Admission Program (APAP): Parent members
have the opportunity to host or attend receptions for admitted and
enrolling students, represent the University at college fairs, and be
resources for parents for recently admitted students.
• Career Center: Parents can become part of the WU professional
community by posting any co-op, internship, or full-time positions
your organization may have available. You can also help by
introducing Career Center staff to the Human Resources or
recruiting team in your company.
• Be a Hometown Ambassador: Many parent volunteers host events
in their homes for alumni, parents, and friends of the University.
Attending events in your hometown is also a wonderful way to
connect with the University.
The Parent Programs team works to serve the needs of all Washington U
parents. If you are ever in need of assistance, please contact the Parent
Programs Office at (800) 247-8517.

Alumni and Parents admission program
APAP members help the University recruit, interview, and enroll talented
students. Washington University parents are in a special position to
communicate undergraduate student experiences, as well as what is to be
gained from a WU education. In addition, they help to personalize what
might otherwise seem like a formal and form-laden process. Few people
are better qualified to promote Washington University than parents of
current WU students.
Parent members of APAP have an important perspective to share with
prospective parents and students as they consider Washington University.
APAP parent members may host and attend receptions; staff college fairs;
participate in Parent to Parent Calling, the Parents Resource List, and the
International Resource List; and help to spread the word about WU in their
communities.
APAP allows parent and alumni to make a significant contribution to the WU
community from their local communities. It also enables parents and alumni
to make connections with one another in cities all over the world.
How Can You Become Part of APAP?
