Cool Session for SU Parents


Many SU Parents much like most college student, undergo a major transformation when their sons and daughters are away at school. The process of letting go while maintaining a strong relationship is not easy, and the role of parent or guardian at this crucial time in development can be a complicated one.

The goal of this workshop is to help parents manage and even enhance this transition. More specifically, it will help parents understand what their students are going through, increase insight about how the parental role is changes, learn how parents can foster or hinder this transition and parents can try new ways of communicating. Parents can also learn about warning signs of trouble as well as how and when to intervene.

The workshop is going to be held from 9:30am-12:30pm on Saturday, October 24th in room 101 of the Whitman School of Management. Space is limited. Please contact Dr. Melissa Carman at the Counseling Center (315-443-4715) for more information or to reserve your spot.
