College Parent Central Information

College Parent Central is a website designed to support parents through the college years. I began College Parent Central because I believe that, as college parents, we can best provide support to our sons and daughters when we understand what they are experiencing and then consider carefully how we can most appropriately fit into that world. I am a college parent myself. I have weathered the college experience successfully with two children, and I have a third child currently in college. I understand many of the questions, dilemmas, joys, trials, milestones, and concerns that college parents face. I also bring to College Parent Central more than twenty-five years of experience in higher education as a college teacher, academic advisor and administrator. I work with college students, and their parents, every day. My experiences as both the parent of college students, and as a professional in higher education, provide me with a special perspective on college parenting. If you are a college parent, I'd like to help you find support navigating that delicate balance of guidance, appropriate involvement - and knowing when to get out of the way. I hope that you will find the information provided here at our College Parent Central website, or through our workshops, helpful and thought-provoking.
