Humboldt State offering online class for parents Course aims to help their student succeed - Geneva Peppars, KRCR

Humboldt State University is now offering a new online class to help family members get educated on how they can help their student succeed in college. The course is called Forever Humboldt Families 101 and the class launched in August, coinciding with the beginning of the Fall Semester. Parents were introduced to the course during student orientation. HSU is not the first university to have parent programs, however, the campus is taking an unusual approach for families to familiarize themselves with the college experience. Family members take the course for free through "Canvas", the same online learning system used by HSU students. The course covers topics such as the transition to college, academic support, student health, and campus involvement. http://www.krcrtv.com/north-coast-news/humboldt-state-offering-online-class-for-parents/620913706
