What can parents do to help students succeed?
A. Family support is important. Parents should show interest and be willing to listen, but also be willing to let go. It s important for parents to encourage students to get to know their professors, who can give academic guidance and information. Students should also be encouraged to get involved in one or more of the student organizations on the UM Dearborn campus. Most importantly, parents should be supportive and trust their student to make good choices. This can be a significant factor in a student s success.
