The information was well-presented and I feel very comfortable sending my child to school here.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Troy University prides itself on ensuring parents about their child&#8217;s success and well-being during such a crucial time in their lives. Organizers also shared share how important it is for students to become fully immersed in the Trojan community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We understand that they&#8217;re coming to college for academics first but we think that having those people in their life through different organizations, whether that be student organizations, honor societies, we feel like they&#8217;re going to be able to be more successful because they have a group of people around them that are going to be encouraging and uplifting,&#8221; said Korrie Lynn Williamson, Senior Director for Enrollment Services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Organizers say they hope the session alleviated parents&#8217; concerns and showed the University&#8217;s commitment to the well-being and academic success of incoming students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Students, when they come to TROY, they are looked at as adults but they typically have people in their life, parents, guardians, grandparents, whatever it may be, and they&#8217;re going to help them along the way,&#8221; Williamson explained. &#8220;We really want to make sure they&#8217;re informed. We really believe that there&#8217;s a family atmosphere so informing our parents, as well as our students, is really important to us.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To learn more about parental resources at Troy University, visit TROY&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/troy.edu\/parents-families.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Parents &amp; Families webpage<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TROY, Ala.
