CVCC’s Career Development staff hosted the second Parent Speaker Series on Wednesday, February 13 from 7:00 to 8:30.  A panel of experts addressed issues critical for the college-bound student (and his/her parents) to consider before leaving for college.  Over 70 parents and students attended the session to hear these panelists share their expertise: 

• Alma Sealine, Director of Housing at Case Western reserve University:  The social and emotional ramifications of college life.
   

• Danny Shoo, senior at Case Western reserve University, majoring in business finance and economics:  A student's perspective on college life.
   

• David Pelland, CFP, Bear Pelland Associates: Personal financial responsibilities.
   

• Sgt. Chad Cunningham of the University of Akron Police Department:  Campus safety and legal aspects of being an 18-year-old.
   

Attendees rated the seminar superbly and expressed their appreciation for the opportunity to glean such valuable advice and helpful resources from these experienced professionals.  In addition to several helpful articles, each family received a checklist of “must-have” conversations before sending their child off to college.
