[C4he] New (July 2013) addition to the OU Center for Higher Education's Working Paper Series

[Risler, Laura]

The Center for Higher Education invites you to read the latest contribution to our Working Paper Series: Understanding the Frequency, Mode, and Impact of Parental Communication and Involvement with Students on Four-Year College Campuses by Danielle L. Oldfield, a recent master's degree recipient in College Student personnel at Ohio University.

Abstract: The field of higher education has seen an increase in parental interactions not only with administrators, but also with their students. With more opportunities to talk to their students daily, parents are able to receive immediate updates on happenings with classes, roommates, and other day-to-day situations than in the past. With increased issues of safety and security on campuses following school shootings and an increased prevalence of mental health issues, parents are even more inclined to stretch and test their ability to procure information and create change on behalf of their students. This increased involvement is driving institutions to find ways to partner with parents in order to find a balance between their involvement and the development of autonomy for their students.

Ms. Oldfield's working paper is posted on the Center's Web site: http://www.cehs.ohio.edu/c4he.

The purpose of our Working Paper Series is to contribute to research on higher education and to stimulate conversation among educators, policy makers, practitioners, and the public. If you have an idea for a working paper, please let us know!
