This event has already taken place.
Miami alumni and friends are encouraged to join Miami's Associate Vice President and Dean of Students, Dr. Kimberly Moore, and Assistant Vice President for Health & Wellness, Dr. Steve Large, to discuss who today’s college students are, who they will be, and how parents can best support them along the way.

Participants will leave this session with some interesting data and helpful tips for parents of past, present, and future students.
