Parents,

As most of you know, your student is not quite the grown-up adult they think they are, but way past the children we still wish they were. This is a very difficult time for all of you, some of you will suffer terrible “empty-nest” syndrome & separation anxiety; while others will rejoice in having the extra bedroom for storing the “junk” or just having a little peace & quite in your house for the first time in 18 years. What makes us so unique & elite is the opportunity to be a part of your college student’s new life, other than just signing the tuition checks & opening the pocketbook. You can be as active as you choose to be as a volunteer parent for campus events or you can merely enjoy the parking pass & the Parent’s Guide, which contains information gained by those of us who have learned our lessons the hard way. We are happy to offer our support to you & share advice with you if you desire. We also take your membership fee & funnel these funds back into the University to the students & faculty by sponsoring emergency loan funds, purchasing items for the students to enhance their student life and also assist in funding events to offer support to the students & faculty during campus events. Through the Parents Association, you will be able to stay in touch with and share your student's world be they a commuter, cadet, resident male or female.
