Information for Parents

What to Expect

In order to have a successful and meaningful college experience, students must accept full responsibility for their personal and academic growth. Parents and advisers together can act as role models to support and encourage students. With this support, the college years provide a safe environment for students to realize their autonomy by making their own decisions and plans that help them emerge from college as capable adults.
