Information
for Parents
Hi
class! This is a bonus chapter. Since you are not the
only person involved in this process of selecting and
attending a college, I thought I’d include a little
something for your parents (this is also applicable
to other adult family members). Everyone knows about
all of the new experiences that freshmen in college
experience, but little attention is focused on the student’s
family. Parents also experience changes, and they need
to know a little of what they should expect from you.
So this lesson is intended for you to take home and
give to your parents. Feel free to read it yourself
if you’re wondering if there’s anything bad
about students in it, but also consider discussing it
with your parents when they’re done. Today’s
chapter is written by two (actually three) people. First,
you’ll hear from a parent’s perspective, from
Dr. Dean and Mrs. Sue McCraw.
The
McCraws
have lived in Stillwater for 12 years. Dean is
a faculty member in the Department of Horticulture
and Landscape Architecture at Oklahoma State University
and Sue is a Realtor in Stillwater. Two of their
children are OSU graduates and the third is a
junior at OSU.

Dr.
Randall W. Dahl
has been Associate Vice President for Academic
Affairs at Oklahoma State University since September
1997, and is responsible for most enrollment services
functions at OSU including new student recruitment,
admissions, University academic scholarships,
new student orientation, and records and registration.
He is a graduate of University of Illinois with
graduate degrees from Indiana University and University
of Kentucky, and has over 25 years of experience
in enrollment, admissions, and student support
services roles at Indiana University, the University
of Massachusetts, the University of Kentucky,
and the University of Alabama in addition to Oklahoma
State. He also served in policy analysis, planning,
and research roles with a statewide higher education
coordinating board. On a more practical side,
he is the father of a daughter who graduated in
four years (including one transfer), and a son
who will be an entering freshman at the University
of Kentucky this fall. He enjoys golf and reading
is sad to report that he is much better at the
latter than the former.

 And then you’ll hear from the
perspective of a college employee as written by
Linda Peale. Linda Peale
is Coordinator of Admissions Programs at Oklahoma
State University in Stillwater, Oklahoma.
She has a Bachelors Degree in Education, and a Masters
Degree in Counseling and Student Personnel, both
from Oklahoma State University. She has had the
opportunity to work with thousands of new students
and parents as they enter this new chapter in their
lives. It is her hope that a little advance information
for parents can turn some of their anxieties and
frustrations into excitement and anticipation.
