Staying Involved

The National Association of Colleges and Employers provides helpful resources for parents and family members of college students.  The NACE published, A Career Planning Course for Parents and A Parents’ Guide to Career Development describes what you can do to help your student work towards successful career outcomes.  What Parents of Prospective College Students Should Know is a good article for parents with high school juniors and seniors preparing for the college application process.

Are you a business owner or a company/organization employee in need of an intern or employee?  We welcome you to post available internships and jobs for WCSU students and alumni on our job board, HANDSHAKE.

We value the support of parents throughout the university.
