For Parents of College Students
Resources for Parents
Help for parents during the transition of sending a child off to school. At a Christian college, the aim is to build on the disciplines and values that you have fostered in them while they were at home. They want you to be able to support and encourage your college student in their growth and maturity during this important time in their lives.
