College Planning Seminar: The Parent Partner
Featured Expert: Rick Clark, Assistant Vice Provost and Executive Director of Undergraduate Admission, Georgia Institute of Technology
As students work toward finishing their Regular Decision applications or eagerly wait for Early Decision and Early Action responses from schools, it’s understandable for parents to share the nervous excitement with their child. In this program parents will hopefully get clarity on:
- Ways to comfort and redirect your child if the news is not good
- How to watch for signs of stress in your child
- How to partner with your school counselor to be an effective support team
