For Families and Parents: New Student Transitions

Thank you for visiting the New Student Programs web page. Though we certainly hope that you'll look at the other areas of our site, we wanted to take a few moments to highlight some things for parents and families.

The beginning of a college career marks many changes in students and their relationships with family and friends. It can also mean changes in beliefs, values, behaviors, and attitudes. The college believes that parents and family members provide a crucial support base for the new experiences of their student. Understanding and adjusting to these changes is an exciting challenge for both students and families.

How You Can Get Involved:

• Attend Family Orientation
• Attend Family Weekend
• Sign up to receive Ithaca Parents Online, an e-newsletter
• Provide encouragement
