Parent & Family Book Club

You are invited to our Book Club!

Join Parent and Family Association with other parents, family members and support systems as we talk about the topics in the book "Out to Sea - A Parent's Survival Guide to the Freshman Voyage" by Kelly Radi.

Please note: you do not need to have read the full book to join the conversation! We will use the book as a guide to our conversation, but will use this space to talk about top-of-mind concerns including packing, money, staying connected and supporting academic success.

You are welcome to attend one or multiple of the book club meetings. Each meeting will have its own unique feel depending on the people in the room and what topics, advice and conversations are shared.

Sign up for the book club at this link.
