Are there ways I can be involved with the College as a parent?

[Sarah Schupp]

First, be supportive of your son or daughter as they encounter the many challenges that college life brings. Listening is often the main thing they want from you. But, you can also show your interest by asking questions about their classwork -- beyond "what are you taking?" and "what grades did you make?" (although those are important questions, too)! Express genuine interest in what they're learning -- ask why they like a particular class, what's the most interesting part of the course, or what is the biggest challenge from that class. Ask what class is their least favorite and why? Attend one of their classes during Family Weekend!
