Parenting a college student is challenging! Finding the right balance of support and encouragement is key to success. The Housing staff partners with parents to support students in the transition to independence and adulthood.
Included in this online newsletter is information for summer residents and for those planning ahead for the fall semester. Students will receive this information in various formats throughout the summer. Please use this information to encourage your student to take action on his/her own behalf and to become more actively involved in the campus community.
