For College Staff
When traditional-age students come to college, especially those with college-educated parents, they bring with them a family support system. Their parents have been their best advisors throughout the K-12 years. Students as well as their parents are comfortable with that relationship, and we believe colleges and universities can gain more by developing a plan to work with family dynamics than by fighting against them.
