“Unexpected Intermittent Reinforcement is the most powerful way to help students learn,
including the fact that support from others encourages their leap to independence.”
— Gerard J. Kowalski, Ph.D., UGA
Executive Director of University Housing
Dear Parent(s),
Parents have three hopes when their child goes to college: positive experiences, positive individual traits, and positive institutions.
Providing positive reinforcement from home, however, can be tricky.
To help, we provide our “Welcome Care Package Event” each year. Response is terrific. Your personal handwritten note comes
with each Care Package, so you can send messages of optimism and support. Most responding parents select the
“Ranger Cheer Plan” as the best way to emphasize focus and fortitude throughout the year.
Ordering is a snap. Just complete the order form below and write your message on the back of the gift cards. Your package will be
prepared at just the right time to surprise and encourage your student.
We’re aiming for 100% parent participation!
Because we feel this service is so worthwhile, we hope each and every parent will participate. Proceeds help provide additional funding
for other educational, social and recreational activities we sponsor on campus.
And for year-long savings, your student will receive the Drew University Student Advantage Card. It saves students money on
travel, textbooks, technology and clothing with merchants like Amtrak®, Barnes&Noble.com, Greyhound®, Apple Online Store,
SportsAuthority.com and AMC Theatres. With Student Advantage discounts of up to 50% at more than 15,000 locations, this is a
must have for any college student.
The “Ranger Cheer Plans” are the favorite with our students.
Your biggest and best options feature all the Care Packages listed below, each perfectly timed.
Plus, the Good Luck Pizza Card and Student Advantage Card for free pizza and terrific student savings.
By ordering everything at once, you save time and money - $24 off regular prices!
The Welcome Package arrives just after school begins, loaded with energy boosting snacks and easy meal substitutes for late wake
ups or working through lunch or dinner. With over 30 munchies from Kraft Easy Mac & Cheese and Kellogg’s Pop Tarts, to ACT II
Microwave Popcorn, Nabisco Chips Ahoy, and a Quaker Chewy Granola Bar, your student will be prepared for almost any stomach
grumbling emergency.
The Trick or Treater arrives for Halloween loaded with popular Halloween candy like Snickers®, Hershey’s Kit Kat Bar, Doritos
Nacho Cheese and more. This is also when midterms typically fall, so this package will be doubly appreciated.
The Valentine Surprise will boost your student with a traditional heart-shaped box of chocolates, Welch’s Fruit Snacks, an
inflatable beach ball, a fun box of those tiny Conversation Hearts and lots more. It’s a fun reminder of your love.
The Out of the Blue Care Package arrives when it’s least expected. With more than two dozen student favorites like Kellogg’s
Fruit Snacks, M&M’s®, Nabisco Wheat Thins, Oreo Cookies and more, this surprise package practically guarantees a thank you call
home. Out of the Blue Packs show up for no special reason except to show your love. Yours will arrive during the first semester,
but not near the start of school, Halloween or finals. Just “Out of the Blue.”
The Fall Finals Survival Package offers your student over 30 success snacks like Kar’s Original Trail Mix, Ritz Bits Sandwiches,
and Skittles®, plus a comforting assortment of gourmet teas and cocoas and Colombian coffees, all with a reusable thermal mug.
Enough to last all through finals.
The Move-in Mug serves a generous mixture of coffees, teas, cocoas and cold drinks designed to keep students alert during long
nights with the books. With its thermal mug and lid, it’s a tasty companion to the Welcome Package.
The Good Luck Pizza Card gets your student a Free Medium Pizza with each large pie purchased at Domino’s near campus. Good
for over 15 pizzas in a year. You can share in the free pizza and savings, too, because it’s valid at 3600 Domino’s nationwide.
The Care Packages will be delivered to the mailroom. To ensure your student receives their Care Package, please completely fill in
the greeting card especially the campus box number.
Choose as many as you like, but please choose at least one. We’re really hoping for 100% parent participation. Thank You!
Sincerely,
James Ramey
Interim Director of Residence Life
P.S. Please respond by August 17th to guarantee distribution of your Care Packages, Student Advantage Card and
