VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
You as a parent, remain the most important and influential person in
your student’s life…and for this reason we encourage you to
stay involved with your son or daughter’s educational experience.
Parents who get involved in their students college experience not only support their student’s success while at J&W, but also share in this extraordinary time in their child’s life. Through their involvement, the University benefits from their enthusiasm, valuable input, and their support of J&W’s students and families.
