Region II Conference Welcomes PFRKC Members!

Greetings Region II Parent and Family KC Members:

I wanted to touch base with those attending the 2016 Regional Conference hosted by John Jay College of Criminal Justice in NYC Sunday, June 5th to Tuesday, June 7th.

The 2016 NASPA Region II Guidebook is now live!  The schedule and all conference information is available through the downloaded guide. (There will be no printed guide). To access this year’s guide:

• Download the NASPA App powered by Guidebook
• Download Guides, 2016 NASPA Region II Conference
• For more detailed instructions and navigation tools, please visit the Guidebook website.

I wanted to share some opportunities to connect during the conference through KC sponsored programs:  

1. Finding Wellness in a Single Stop
   • ​​When: Monday June 6th, 2:30 - 3:30pm
   • Where: 1.69 NB
   • As the number of students from low-income households continues to grow in urban colleges, both institutions and students are faced with challenges stemming from unmet needs directly interfering with academic success. Presenters will outline the research, best practices and partnerships utilized in creating the John Jay Wellness Cenetr, a comprehensive response to the holistic and financial needs of their students.
2. When Students Die, Compassionate Work with Parents & Families
   • ​​When: Monday June 6th, 10:10 - 11:10am
   • Where: 1.71 NB
   • No issue is more important to college parents and families than the safety of their students. How a campus responds to the ultimate crisis - a student death - reflects the institution's philosophy and values. In this session, presenters will invite participants to think deeply about how we use our human and organizational resources to work compassionately with parents and families as they are responding to and grieving the loss of their student. Experts will share their experiences and insights, as well as invite the input of all session participants.

In addition, I am happy to organize a coffee break, or lunch gathering for anyone interested in networking and sharing innovative ideas about the KC and Parent & Family Relations. Please email me at [email protected] or connect with me on Twitter @dnj1999. I will be tweeting throughout the conference.

John Jay College is excited to host our friends at NASPA and I look forward to meeting many of you! Please contact me if I can assist during your visit, or as you make plans to attend. 

Thank you,
