Welcoming students home for the summerMany underclassmen will return home for the summer to work, take summer classes and enjoy some downtime. While parents may have visions of "old times," it's important to realize that both the family and the student may have different expectations than they had nine months earlier. Stephanie Quade, dean of students, shared some insight and tips for parents to consider as they prepare to welcome their student home on The Morning Blend, a Milwaukee morning talk show. Additional ideas and suggestions are available from the Division of Student Affairs. |
