This year's Parents' Fund has adopted a new project that will help students prepare to enter the job market. PACE links alumni already out there with students preparing to enter the job market to exchange information about careers, specific job opportunities and locations. We believe that this project will appeal to a lot of parents.
Parents are really interested in their sons' and daughters' future after graduation.
The computer equipment this money will purchase will give students some additional help preparing for that future. Traditionally, Parents' Fund money has been used for projects that benefit as many students as possible. Funds have supported the J. Claude Clark Learning Center, student research and travel and renovation of common areas and seminar rooms. The Parents' Fund will also continue to support those projects. Over the past few years, budget cuts have had a severe impact on that office, yet it is always an area of high interest for parents and students.
