Families - How You Can Support Your Mville Student

How you can help your Valiant

We recognize the role that parents and guardians play in their students' career journeys as advisors, counselors, troubleshooters, cheerleaders, and advocates. You are a crucial part of the team in working with your students toward their academic and career success.

We need your help to best serve your students! The amount of information and resources on campus may be overwhelming, especially for new students. Encourage them to meet with our office early to help them plan for the future. Remind them to log in to Handshake and register for events that interest them. Help them think about gaining experience through internships. We reach out to students regularly with everything they need to know, but sometimes that nudge from a parent means the most.
