“…For example, based on the University of Minnesota parent surveys, parents of first-year students were most concerned about health and safety ("Good Parent Relations," 2005). Also, the "Parent Project" looked at goals of parents while they were attending new student orientation at southeastern institutions (Turrentine, Schnure, Ostroth, & Ward-Roof, 2000).

While the primary purpose of an institution is to focus on the student, colleges and universities would be remiss not to place emphasis on the relationships that students maintain with their parents during their college career. Parental involvement can have a positive impact on the students’ personal development and success in college. This study explores the main concerns and questions of parents. Based on content and discourse analysis of a college parents listserv over a 5-month period, the main topics discussed were living arrangements and transportation. Other discussion topics included “letting go” and supporting the student. Knowing information like this means that orientation staff can adequately address these issues and keep parents involved in the life of campus.

Parents of traditional-age students confront many developmental challenges of their own when their children begin college. Yet, few parent orientation programs address these challenges during the orientation process. The current study was designed to determine how well two sessions that addressed the parents' developmental changes were evaluated compared to more traditional orientation activities. The two sessions were highly evaluated as parents cited these programs as two of the three most beneficial and named the speakers as the most helpful in orientation.
