Overview

Learn how you can develop a program that better engages parents by addressing their specific needs. If executed correctly, an effective program can lead to improved student success, enhance your institution’s reputation, and connect your institutional goals with a highly engaged population. In this webcast, you will learn how to:

  • Expand upon or create a parent relations program
  • Survey and understand your institution’s parents’ needs and interests
  • Use the information you learn to create a self-sustaining program

Who should attend?

If you work directly with parents, parent programs, or are involved in parent relations, this program is for you. Whether you are looking to start or build a fledgling program, we encourage you to attend this webcast.
