Humor: First Day of School & First Day of College

College Parents of America operates with a premise that every student wants to succeed.  We also believe that part of your role as a parent is to help your student to succeed frequently as the school year begins, and to aid him or her in attaining a higher level of performance throughout the academic year.

The tenth comic in the College Parents of America Humor series is now available on collegeparents.org. This comic, made in a collaborative act between College Parents of America and Hector Curriel, is a nod to helicopter parents everywhere. 

We fundamentally believe in the value of higher education to advance the quality of the lives of the students, families and communities where they eventually serve.

However, given that this topic is oft-covered in the media, it is important to sort through and contextualize this information. This post, originally written by College Parents of America in May 2013, serves as a primer to understanding college safety articles. Please read on and follow along in the coming weeks as we release data-driven lists on issues, incident rates and arrests concerning college safety.
