We want parents to know they can really become allies and partners so their students can do their best.

This is not going to go away. We?re going to learn from it and make it better. When parents and teachers work together, it?s a good signal to the student that says they (teachers and parents) are willing to work for me.

It's good because the parents and visitors get to come and talk about what they do to the students, and the students feel good because a lot of them know who the presenters are. Everyone has a good feeling.

We're looking for an upscale crowd who knows beers. The target market is your parents and grad students. It's a sleek, elegant place where faculty can come.

We couldn't open every door and that was difficult, but we made a decision to make what resources we can available to these young people, which was easy.
