Petree launches ‘College Ready’ guide

Chelsea Petree, director of RIT’s Parent and Family Programs, has edited “College Ready,” a guide to prepare parents and families during the transition to college, from the summer through the first visit home. Topics include balancing access needs and student privacy, how to have tough conversations, preparing students for adult responsibilities, packing, and supporting students through the first semester. More than a dozen chapters were written by experts in the field. All parents of incoming RIT students will receive a free digital edition, and Petree will host a book club event for the parents who read it.
