Understanding Our College Students and Their Families
Wednesday, January 30 from 3–4:30 p.m.
John T. Rettaliata Engineering Center, Room 121
When talking with colleagues who work with college students, we often hear the expression that while we get older, our students get younger. We also have noticed an emerging trend that our family members are more engaged with their students’ academic experience. This presentation is to help faculty and staff members better understand the current generation of college students and their families. In this presentation we will discuss theories relating to our college students, understanding first-generation college students, best practices, and how to work with students’ family members.
