This is a great talk for parents with kids of ALL ages. Treats and coffee served.

The college counseling consultants and financial education specialist will also be offering one-on-one advisory sessions specific to each students needs. These sessions fill up quickly, and parents are strongly encouraged to call the Funhouse Commons to schedule one of these valuable sessions.
