Research shows that family involvement is critical to student success. We view you as a valued partner here at USF. We find that students benefit when they have family supporters who encourage them to take responsibility for their actions and experience. To help guide some important conversations you’ll likely want to have with your student throughout the year, check out the “Family Conversation Starters” located throughout this handbook.
