For Parents

As a parent, your goals align with our mission - to empower students to become independent, responsible, and thoughtful leaders.

College students are emerging adults and learn through experience and living on their own. Heading to college is a big transition for parents, not just students. As parents figure out how to share expectations and support their students from a distance, we want to offer parents some advice and guidance that we’ve learned along the way.
