Director's Note
The Thanksgiving holiday is upon us and your student is looking forward to coming home for food, rest and TLC. Check out the
article on Coming Home, as it may help guide you in this first transition home from college.
Our Student Phonathon staff is hard at work calling all current parents this month.
Please consider a donation to the Parents Annual Fund. The services and benefits you and your student receive are a direct result of
this fund.
Wishing you a very warm, filling and happy Thanksgiving.
