How many parents are in your incoming class this year?

Maybe you didn’t admit any … but it’s not an overstatement to say that parents are playing a significant and growing role in the college careers of their children.

They want to be involved … they want more communication … they want to feel connected.

Some parental involvement is good, of course, and some of it can be problematic. Achieving the right balance – the one that best serves the needs of the institution, its students and their families – is best done through a formalized program backed by a solid, well-thought-out plan.

In this brand-new online seminar, presenters Sally Daniels and Marjorie Savage will help you come to a better understanding of today’s college family, and show you how to build a responsive, effective program of parental involvement.

Growing a Family/Parent Program is an information-packed, 90-minute seminar covering issues ranging from the strategic to the tactical, including:
• Identifying criteria for establishing or enhancing a parent program
• Gaining support from administrators
• Prioritizing key parent services
• Choosing the best among involvement initiatives including orientation events, development campaigns, communication programs, volunteer opportunities and more
• Determining staffing, budget, and support needs
• Integrating parent services with campus expectations related to student privacy and development
• Navigating the relationship between parent services and FERPA
• Ensuring parental involvement supports normative student development
