We hope you will be informed and involved supporters in your son or daughter’s academic success. Capital will provide you with program information and the opportunity to become more connected. We encourage you to maintain open lines of communication with your student, and think in terms of advising on decisions rather than providing answers. 

Your active involvement might include:

• attending parent orientation programs (summer and fall)
   
• sign up for our Parent Newsletter
   
• attending athletic events and checking our event calendar for upcoming shows, performances and presentations
   
• visiting campus
   
• participating in Homecoming and Family Weekend
   
• calling, texting and emailing your student (this seems obvious but students look forward to hearing from you)
   
• sending care packages to your student
   
• acting as a career coach for your student 
   
• contacting the Student Retention Office if you think your student is struggling
