Parents with College Age Children
In episode # 74 my guest is Vanita Sanders, MSW who is the Senior Director of College and Career Access and Success at Strategic Community Partners and former Assistant Director for GEAR-UP ( Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs) at the University of Michigan. Vanita has championed college access, college readiness and community initiatives that support college age students and parents of college age students. In this episode "Parents and College Age Children" Vanita shares her professional and personal expertise on how parents can help develop their young adult children into independent students and citizens. Vanita says there are two ways young people learn "Mentor and Mistakes" . She also states parents have to learn to let their children who are in college own their journey.
