  parents' guide to careers
College life is a time for choices, developing new skills, and dealing with stress created by transitions...and this is what the parents must go through.

To assist you in supporting your son or daughter during their college career, we have compiled a list of web sites that contain helpful information for parents.  The sites offer information on careers, decision-making, experiential education, and employment issues.  Some sites are created and maintained by Gannon and some are external sites.  We believe the information will be helpful as you coach your son or daughter through a successful college career.
