Nearly 60 academic advisors travelled from all over Ohio to network, learn and share. Thank you to all for another successful conference and to kick off 2008-09.
Julian Parrott from the University of Illinois shared his research about parents of today's college students. His presentation included great information that advisors should be aware of prior to meeting with students and parents as well as strategies for informing parents and allowing them to be a part of the advising team.
