I hope to develop a spirit of community for parents, help them to feel included and engaged in their student's college experience, and serve as a resource for prayer, encouragement, and communication between parents and JBU.

In fact, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act limits what information JBU can talk about with you without your student's permission.
