Parent
Partners Program
The
Flagler College Parent Partners
Program was established in
the 2001 to be a liaison between
the College, parents and students
while providing an outlet for
sharing and discussing ideas.
Parent volunteers are involved
in their son's or daughter's
education at Flagler College
while helping other parents
adjust to the college experience.
Parent Partners host activities,
fundraise, enhance relationships,
provide contacts for out-of-town
parents and stimulate involvement
in Parents' Weekend.
While
keeping apprised about Flagler
College's current activities,
Parent Partners coordinate and
participate in such projects
as parent phonathons, parents'
receptions, and "welcome" calls
to parents of incoming students,
as well as hosting orientation
tables at check-in. Having
parents work together continues
to assist in the success of
Flagler College.
 David
and Carole Ginzl (Christie '95
and Rebekah '03) talk with another
parent about the Annual Fund.
Volunteers
needed!
We
are preparing for the return
of the students in the fall,
and there are several volunteer
opportunities available.
First,
Welcome Calls! These phone
calls are made by parents of
current students to parents
of incoming students welcoming
them to the Flagler College
family. A list is provided
to you that details the name
of the student, the city they
live in, the high school, and
phone number. You also receive
a phone card to assist with
your expenses. Additionally,
there is a script (or points
of interest) that highlight
information relating to the
Registrar, Student Services,
and the Business Offices. I
try and match people from similar
regions, but also try and cover
as much of the country as possible.
If you have a specific request,
please let me know.
Second,
New Student Orientation! I am
looking for volunteers to “meet
and greet” families
on check-in day. Do you remember
what it was like to bring
your son or daughter to Flagler
College? Perhaps you can lend
a helpful hand by answering
questions on move-in day.
It is Saturday, August 28,
2004. Generally, the Parent
Partners provide refreshments
to as well as share information
about the program with other
interested parents.
Third,
the President's Reception during
Parents’ Weekend!
The Parent Partners will be
hosting a reception for parents.
It will be held in historic
Markland House, and we are
looking for hosts and hostesses.
Please
contact me, Nicole Pece, if
you can help with any of these
activities. I look forward
to working with you.
