Parent Communication Survey
This summer the Office of Alumni & Parent Relations will be holding workshops at Summer O on how parents can best communicate with their students. We thought we'd come to the experts -- you the students, to find out how you communicate with your parents so that we could offer the best advice to the parents of the Chico State Class of 2013!

Need Renters Insurance??
Spend a little. Protect a lot.
Your affiliation with the Chico State Alumni Association may qualify you for savings on Renters Insurance**. Think you don’t need it? Think again. Got a laptop? An iPod? Flat-screen TV? Digital camera? Imagine those being stolen or damaged—in your home or in your car. That’s a lot of money out the window.
What exactly is Renters Insurance?
Insurance is not just for homeowners but also for people who rent. Renters Insurance protects the possessions that matter to you from theft, fire and some types of water damage. Additionally, this coverage is in effect anywhere you go.
Why do I need it? I don’t have a lot of stuff.
First of all, your stuff may be worth more than you think and you work really hard for everything that you own. Have you recently invested in a new laptop, flat screen, 10 mega pixel camera or mountain bike with disc brakes? And what about everything else—furniture, appliances, clothing? Your possessions could easily add up to more than $10,000! If you’re careful enough to save for these items, don’t risk a financial setback replacing them. And remember, while your landlord likely has insurance to protect his or her building, that policy will not protect you. Similarly, your parents’ homeowners policy may have covered your belongings in the college dorm, but it no longer applies when you move out on your own.
So, what are you waiting for? Learn more today about renters insurance from Liberty Mutual. Your stuff is worth it.

**Discounts, credits, and certain filed rates are available where state laws and regulations allow, and may vary by state. These savings are not available in Alaska, Florida, or Wyoming. To the extent permitted by law, applicants are individually underwritten; not all applicants may qualify. If you have questions, please consult a Liberty sales representative.
