It can be tough knowing what is best for your student as they move through their college experience. Some students experiences today can be vastly different from our own or our friends or family’s experiences. That is why we are here; to help.
The Residential Education staff is constantly challenged to stay in-tune with what current student issues are and how to best address them in the residence halls. For example, students today tend to be much closer to their parents/guardians than in past generations while at college.
This section is way for us to help you, help your students help themselves. There are many resources out there to help parents of college students but these are just a few that you might find helpful:
