Parents Are A Piece Of The Puzzle
9:45 AM - 10:45 AM PT
Speaker(s): Cari DuBois-Wright, Associate Director of Development, Parent Giving, University of California Davis, Erin Mross, Assistant Director- Parent and Student Engagement, University of California Davis
Elective Session
As our student population changes, so too must our approach in engaging parents. Additionally, parents have access to numerous sources of information that can be conflicting and may lead them to feel disconnected from campus. This session will help you develop a year-round parent engagement and communication strategy that builds trust in the institution, creates meaningful volunteer experiences, and generates support for key initiatives. Learn how to bring parents into the conversation and pipeline early on and engage with them throughout their “time” on campus. Alumni and development professionals will share how this partnership works through strategic cross-campus collaboration.
