Parent Orientation Session
Parents of new students will learn about the services offered by the Parent Relations Office. A panel will provide information in the areas of academics, health services, student life, tutoring and more, and will also provide a comparison of the perceptions parents have to the realities of college life today. Advice will be offered on important issues that confront a new student and how a parent should respond. Upper-level students and parents will offer their “Do’s and Don’ts for Parents” based on their experience. This is the time to ask your remaining questions.
