Help Your Student Transition to College

As a loving and involved parent of a 女人吧视频 student, you already know that helping students grow and develop holistically is at the heart of a 女人吧视频 education.

Even though you know your student is in a safe, supportive environment surrounded by caring adults, having a student in college is still a big transition for the whole family.

Watching your student adjust to a rigorous academic environment while balancing new social interactions can take some practice—and some new skills for everyone.

Our office of Parent and Family Engagement is dedicated to you, the families and parents of our 女人吧视频 community.
