The Parent-Child Partnership in College Search
June 20, 2009
Live Web Conference
Part of the Enrollment Management July Web Conference Series
About: In recent years there has been growing discussion within higher education about the rise in parents' involvement in their children's lives, both before and during college. Previous research has identified parents as the most influential people in a student's college search process, suggesting schools of interest, pointing to resources such as U.S. News & World Report, and helping students build their lists of colleges to consider.
During this Web conference, Eduventures Enrollment Management research director, Kim Reid, will share findings of a recent survey of over 7,200 parents of college freshmen. Attendees will learn valuable information about interacting with and messaging to these powerful influencers during their children's college search. Key questions to be answered are:
- Who are key influencers for parents during the college search?
- How does parental involvement and influence vary across different phases of the college search?
- How do parents' information needs and sources change through the process of the college search?
- How do parents perceive Web-based tools and campus visit activities?
