Parents

Parents have an important role in promoting the personal development and academic success of their son or daughter during their collegiate experience. Whether this is your first student to go to college or your last to leave home, you will find that your young adult needs your support and guidance in new ways as he or she becomes more independent. You are not alone in providing support; the staff in the division of student affairs is your partner in your student's success.

We recognize the educational experience of each student results from a thoughtful and caring partnership between the university, the family, and the student. This web site will introduce you to information that will be helpful in understanding the university and your student's experience. Additionally, we invite you to familiarize yourself with our campus by attending our athletic events, theater productions or by simply taking advantage of our beautiful campus and scheduling a visit. It is our sincere hope that our new partnership will produce great results, including the graduation of women and men who will provide outstanding leadership in the communities in which they settle.
