Tips for New U of M Parents
Sending a child off to the University of Michigan is also a new stage of life for YOU, the parent. Whether this is your first child or your last child to leave home, this time requires an adjustment for you as well as for your student. It is a time of "letting go." Your role as a parent is to understand and accept that the changes are part of the process of them becoming adults.

Check out the story in the Michigan Daily and please stop by and look at the messages. Take one of the tiles if it speaks to you and if you are so inclined, leave your very own message of hope for the wall and become a part of tthis community of caring.
