Parent Talk Oct. 7 will tutor parents on student success

The next installment in UNM's free Parent Talk series is Wednesday, Oct. 7, from 6-7 p.m. in the Dean of Students Conference Room (rm. 260), Student Services Center. Students and extended family are welcome to attend.

Midterms are around the corner. Proactive students can avoid bombing first major exams by seeking tutoring now. Our featured presenters will speak about tutoring on campus as it relates to student success. Karen Olson is the director for the Center of Academic Program Support and William McClary, University College Academic Advisor, is also active with the campus ethnic centers.

"Parents find themselves in the role of college and career coach as early as freshman year and they will need information," said Laurie Mellas, UNM Parent Relations. "Students turn to their parents first if they are struggling and it's great if we can arm families with the tools they need to help their students succeed."
UNM Parent Talk presentations are held the first Wednesday of each month. Check‐in begins at 5:30 p.m. Parent Association members are on hand to visit with you about their experiences.
The series of talks is sponsored by the UNM's Dean of Students' Family Connection Program, Parent Relations Office and Parent Association and UNM's Extended University.
