Your Parent’s Advice Goes A Long Way Here you are at Louisburg College and I’ll bet that as you read this article the good advice of your parents is still ringing in your ears: “Study hard!” , “Get plenty of rest!” “Don’t run around with the wrong crowd!” “Write often!” “Call if you need me.” You’ve probably heard these words so often recently that they have lost their meaning to you. Let me ask that you give thought to the intent of the words rather than the specific meaning. Your parents have nurtured and loved you, and have invested a great deal of time, money, and emotion in the last eighteen or so years of your life. Now you are growing independent and your parents want you to avoid some of the pitfalls of life - perhaps some that they have experienced, themselves. Parents know from experi ence the positive benefits of Dean J. Craig Eller good study habits, adequate rest, wholesome friends, and maintaining good family relations. They also know the problem that can arise from the absence of good habits. A few time in our lives we get a chance for a fresh start in life, continues on page 3 WELCOME STUDENTS A “Good Start Important Louisburg College is glad that you are here as we begin the 1988-89year, and Ijoin with all members of the faculty and staff in saying “Welcome back!” to returning students and “Welcome aboard!” to all new students. Fhere is a real excitement as we start classes and campus life, and although we will be filled to capacity, we look forward to “getting to know you” as a member of our community.

We look forward with confidence to a strong Louisburg College with the kind of environment that will help students who have the (ommitment to achieve academic and personal goals. A “good start” in classes is most im{)ortant, and I want to encourage all students to makt' every effort to begin with readiness to work hard and to achieve. Regular class attendance is most important! There are many people here who genuinely care and will help in any way they can in assistance to you. Just let us know! And we hope you will become involved in campus activities by participation and or by attendance. It can augment your classroom work and study time in meaningful ways. Each student here is an important member of the Louisburg College communi ty, and we’re glad you are here to help us while you advance your goals in life: As you contribute to strengthening Louisburg, so are you and your College made better! The Great College Experience! The Academic Dean’s Office.... It sounds like a place no one would choose to visit. In reality, it is the place at Louisburg College where your academic success and academic performance come first. C. Edward Brown, Jr., the Executive Vice-President and Academic Dean, works closely with the college faculty to insure you have the best possible environment for learning. He, along with Robin Goff Roper, the Assistant Academic Dean, administer the academic policies and academic standards of the college. They are available to assist you in your search for academic success. Dean Brown and Dean Roper are glad you chose to begin your academic career at Dr. C. Edward Brown. Jr. Louisburg College. The caring and concerned faculty and staff are committed to assisting you to reach your academic goals. The next step is yours. Learning is not something that happens to you. You do not “get educated”. Learning is an active process, and you are the agent of that action. Take charge of your learning! Be prepared for your classes, ask questions, ask for help and assistance, take advantage of tutors and study sessions, and use the library.
