As parents and families are increasingly engaged in their students’ experience, they are playing a larger role throughout the student life cycle.  Parents and families invest in your university through their student.  Is your university delivering a return on that investment?

​

Our research shows that targeted parent and family strategies can improve recruitment, retention, student outcomes, and philanthropy. 

 

The PIE (Parent/Family Insights and Experiences) is a proven tool designed for campuses looking to positively adapt to change and strategically improve  parent and family engagement.  The PIE helps provides insights to:

​

• Gain an advantage in recruitment 

• Design effective parent and family programs

• Reinforce parents as partners in student success

• Improve communication and responsiveness

• Anticipate and prepare for crisis

• Build a parent giving strategy
