Parents will have the opportunity to participate in a discussion about student life, ways to get involved and health services through the Parents Academy.

This semester’s webinars are scheduled for:

Student well-being at Quinnipiac (student health, counseling and wellness support) at 7 p.m. on September 27
Academic and social support at 7 p.m. on October 4
Dining at 7 p.m. on October 11

“Students are bombarded with information during the first few weeks on campus, and students may feel intimidated to ask for help,” Tom Ellett, the chief experience officer, said. “We want to give parents the opportunity to hear about what we do academically so that if needed they can help their student accordingly.”

Throughout the year, it is common for parents to call various university administrators with questions and concerns, said Ellet, and the webinar series has been created to address this need and provide support to parents with current students.
