Helping First-Year Students Help Themselves
First-year college students have always arrived on campus full of anxieties: Will I be able to keep up academically? Will I get along with my roommates? Will it be fun? Recently, however, an increasing number feel unable to cope with the emotional demands of college life, and transitional worries have morphed into longer-term fears: Why isn’t life falling into place for me?
According to a yearly national survey of more than 200,000 first-year students conducted by researchers at the University of California at Los Angeles, college freshmen are increasingly “overwhelmed,” rating their emotional health at the lowest levels in the 25 years the question has been asked. Such is the latest problem dropped at the offices of higher-education administrators and professors nationwide: Young adults raised with a single-minded focus on gaining admission to college now need help translating that focus into ways to thrive on campus and beyond.

A mayoral press conference will be held to announce that, after a 45 year national hiatus, Philadelphia is leading the way in re-launching National Thrift Week. A diverse coalition of community leaders working in economic development, education, and greening will join the celebration.
National Thrift Week has been neglected in America for the past 45 years. As the home of Benjamin Franklin and the birthplace of our nation, the City of Brotherly Love is leading the way in renewing this American tradition. The return of National Thrift Week could not be more timely considering our nation’s present economic and social circumstances.

Dateline Washington just posted a great new interview with Adam Bellow, editor of New Threats to Freedom, on their website. You can download it as a podcast and it is definitely worth a listen if you’re looking for an insightful overview of the book.
Adam has also been busy speaking with radio hosts around the nation this week, so we’ll post a full list of his interviews below (some of these are/were live, but many are taped and could be aired periodically over the next few days). If you find yourself in these listening areas, be sure to tune in for some thought-provoking radio talk.
