Some Advice for Parents and Students Listen to your child when they call you for help and offer advice, but empower them to advocate for themselves, starting with those individuals closest to the issue. Our shared goal is that your child accomplishes all their dreams on time and on budget. Send a care package/letter every semester if you can t visit. Sometimes it s the journey that teaches you a lot about your destination. -Aubrey Graham
