Concurrent Session #2
The connections that students have with their families is important for student affairs professionals to embrace. This session explores how evolving generational dynamics and technology are reshaping the role and understanding of parents and families in higher education. By understanding these shifts, student affairs professionals can grow their impact beyond orientation—engaging supporters as active partners in the student journey. Through inclusive, intentional and tech-enabled strategies, we can empower families to be partners in order to help achieve their student's success. This session offers practical insights for cultivating lasting connections that support both institutional goals and student well-being.
