Supporting Your Son or Daughter's Transition to Campus this Fall
Assumption will host a program for parents and families on Wed., Aug. 18 at 6 p.m. to help you support your student in their transition to in-person learning this fall.   
  
Assumption parents Amy Hurley P'23, Associate Director for Student Success, and David Crowley Ph.D., P'24, Professor of Biology, who enthusiastically presented last semester on the topic of providing support to your student in the remote environment, are back again by popular demand. As parents of current AU undergraduate students, they will share their expertise and strategies on how to provide the support students need as they transition back to the full in-person environment this fall.
