College Parents of America, Comic #10

The sixth comic in the College Parents of America Humor series is now available on collegeparents.org.

Last week, in this column, I wrote about the upcoming “road to reauthorization” for the Higher Education Act, certain provisions of which are already being considered in the U.S. House Education and the Workforce Committee, chaired by Rep. John Boehner of Ohio.

 The thirteenth comic in the College Parents of America Humor series is now available on collegeparents.org. This comic, a co-creation of College Parents of America and Hector Curriel, is particularly timely for students and parents negotiating summer budgets before back to school spending begins. 

We are pleased to share the results of the 2016 biennial survey of college parents. The findings of this report are consistent with our prior the two prior research studies and confirms that “college families are an important source of support for increasing student success and college completion.” The 2016 survey of more than 510 College Parents conducted by College Parents of America through internet channels and subscribers in late June of 2016. We have a high degree of confidence that the survey is directionally correct and will be valuable to colleges and universities as well as other stakeholders interested in increasing rates of college completion.
