Whether this is your student’s first year at Michigan or the last, Parents & Family Weekend has something for you. We hope you take full advantage of the wonderful activities on campus, and enjoy this special weekend with your student. By visiting campus this weekend, or at any time, you are providing a support network for your student that only you can provide. In fact, parents and family members play a vital role in the lives of college students. Many students still count on their parents to remain a steady and stable source of support and guidance. Parents can serve as mentors, offering advice and encouragement, while also promoting independence, autonomy, and responsibility. We have found that families, who are informed about campus and local resources, are better equipped to serve as a referral source for their student. The University of Michigan offers many sources of information for parents, including this University Parent Guide to the University of Michigan. In addition to comprehensive Parents & Family Weekend information, this Guide 6 provides general information about lodging, dining, and other Ann Arbor area information. We hope you will find it useful during your Parents & Family Weekend experience and beyond. In addition, families can always utilize the M-Parent website at www.parents. umich.edu. This website is your road map to the services and resources at the University of Michigan. It also provides information about important dates and newsworthy items of interest to parents.

By acting as a referral source, you can demonstrate that you are interested in your student’s life at the University, and at the same time, you empower your student to solve his or her own problems. As your student takes on adult responsibilities, your role will change, but your student still needs you. Students need you to support their growth, development, and independence, and to be a stable force in their ever-changing world. On occasion, they even need your advice — but they may or may not ask for it. Continue to Have Meaningful Conversations Tips for Supporting Your Student Stay Connected Support your student by staying connected. Communicate via phone, texting, email, chat, SKYPE, Facebook, and even good, old-fashioned ‘snail’ mail. Students love to get real mail, especially care packages. Expect that your student will not respond to all of your contacts, but know that he or she appreciates hearing from you. Checking-In Give your student the opportunity to share feelings and ideas with you. He or she is experiencing new viewpoints and perspectives that may challenge prior belief systems. Allow your student to explore ideas without being judgmental. Understand that changes in viewpoints, behavior, dress, eating and sleeping habits, and relationships with parents are all to be expected during the college years. However, if you suspect that 32 some of these changes may be signs of bigger problems (alcohol or drug abuse, academic problems, etc. . .), refer your student to the Counseling and Psychological Services office. Trust your instincts. Your student may need you to refer him or her to the appropriate resources for help. University of Michigan Be Knowledgeable About Campus Resources Utilize the M-Parent website or read the Parent Calendar & Handbook. These resources are designed specifically for parents and provide a great deal of information about the University and its departments. Helping your student to parents.umich.edu As a parent of a college student, the relationship with your child is going to transform as they gain more independence. However, you do still have a tremendous influence on your son or daughter’s behavior. In college, your student will have to make his or her own decisions including what time to get up in the morning, when to study, when to exercise, whether or not to drink alcohol, and whether or not to engage in sexual relationships. While you cannot make your student behave exactly as you would want them to, parents can share their values and beliefs with their students on these issues. Studies show that parents can positively influence their child’s behavior regarding alcohol and other drug use and sexual decision making even after their child leaves for college. Provide your student with the facts on these issues, and empower them to distinguish between healthy and harmful decisions when it comes to their behavior, health, and safety. If you are the parent of a new freshman, your student was required to complete an online course about alcohol use and sexual assault prevention in August. As a parent, you too may take this online course by logging in at www.parents.alcoholedu.com. The course name is “University of Michigan – Parent Course” and the login is: P170976PARENT. By learning more about alcohol use and sexual assault prevention on college campuses, you will have the tools you need to create an atmosphere of open communication, and your student will 33 RESOURCES not only appreciate that you respect him or her as an adult, but he or she will also be more likely to turn to you for guidance. Ask Questions — But Not Too Many Most first-year college students desire the security of knowing that someone from home is still interested in them. Parental curiosity can be alienating or supportive depending on the attitudes of the persons involved. Honest inquiries and other “between friends” communication and discussion will do much to further the parent-student relationship. Expect Change Your student will change. College and the experiences associated with it can effect changes in social, vocational, and personal behavior and choices. It’s natural, inevitable, and it can be inspiring. Often though, it’s a pain in the neck. You can’t stop change, you may never understand it, but it is within your power (and to you and your student’s advantage) to accept it. Remember that your son or daughter will be basically the same person that you sent away to school. people. It may take a while for students to realize that their Hollywood-created images of what college is all about are wrong. Hollywood doesn’t show that college is about being scared, confused, overwhelmed, and making mistakes. Students may feel these things and worry that they are not ‘normal’ because what they’re feeling is in contrast to what they’ve been led to believe while growing up. Parents can help by understanding that the highs and lows of college life are a critical part of your son or daughter’s development, and by providing the support and encouragement to help him or her understand this as well. Trust Your Student College is also a time for students to discover who they are. Finding oneself is a difficult enough process without feeling that the people whose opinions you respect most are second-guessing your own second-guessing. Do Not Tell Your Student That ‘These Are the Best Years of Your Life’ College can be full of indecision, insecurities, disappointments, and most of all, mistakes. It’s also full of discovery, inspiration, good times, and exciting 34 University of Michigan RESOURCES RESOURCES University of Michigan Central Campus E. Huron E W E. Washington St. 202 S.
