Parent Participation (2011 Strategic Plan)

As a young institution, we are fortunate that Hampshire parents have generously supported the College. Hampshire will expand parent volunteer networks (including fundraising volunteers) through the alumni and family relations office. Advancement staff members will be dedicated to engaging parents as volunteers and soliciting their philanthropic support.

CORC can be a bridge to build a base of parents who are engaged in providing support, through internships and career exploration, to our current students and young alumni. Involved parents are likely to be supportive of the College financially. Current CORC resources and infrastructure are inadequate to tap this potential resource, a resource that could benefit students, alumni, and the College as a whole. Carin Rank, Career Options
