About the CU Office of Parent Relations

Who We Are

The mission of the Office of Parent Relations is to partner with parents in order to support and enhance the educational experience of their CU student. As your on-campus partner, the Office of Parent Relations serves as the parent portal to campus information and resources on issues, questions, and concerns regarding the university and your student.

What We Do

Students want to know they have the support of their parents as they navigate college life striving to excel in a competitive arena. Parents are the support system that remains consistent as students transition beyond high school. Research has shown that the more parents are involved, the more likely their student will succeed in college.

Parent involvement at CU-Boulder is highly encouraged. The Parent Program is comprised of three organizations – the Office of Parent Relations, the CU Parents Association, and the Parent Fund – all working to help parents

stay involved. The following should help you understand the three and have a better understanding how the university strives to serve the CU-Boulder family of students, parents, and family members.

Office of Parent Relations (OPR)The Office of Parent Relations is your on-campus partner. As part of the Division of Student Affairs, OPR works with CU-Boulder parents to give them the tools to help their students become successful. OPR fields phone calls, informs parents at orientation sessions, develops and sends out print and electronic communications, plans events such as Family Weekend, regional receptions and summer send offs, networks with campus departments and leadership, provides administrative oversight of the CU Parents Association (CUPA), and helps parents and family members understand and relate better to their student. Reach out to OPR at [email protected] or (303) 492-1380.

CU Parents Association (CUPA)The CU Parents Association was founded to help parents stay involved with their students and develop their own connection to the university. When parents and family members take

advantage of the free CUPA membership, they enjoy a number of benefits and can be part of some great programs. The CUPA Parent Council is an active group of parent volunteers who meet on campus two times during the academic year to represent the “parent voice” on important issues, interact with key administrators, and focus on CUPA programs.

The Parent Fund (CUF Parent Fund)The Parent Fund is one of many meaningful ways for parents to be involved in their student’s education. The Parent Fund, administered with the CU Foundation, enables the Division of Student Affairs to enhance important programs and initiatives that directly impact all students on campus from move in through graduation. The deep interest and generous support of parents have made a significant difference in helping CU enhance the out of classroom experience of our students.

CU GUIDE


CU GUIDE

According to the 2011 National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE), “students are known to benefit when they use a variety of approaches to study and learn, such as taking notes when reading, summarizing and organizing new information, and creating a study-friendly environment.” More than 22,000 students

were asked how they study best and the most frequently used strategies included:

⊲ Taking careful notes during class.

⊲ Connecting course content to things already known.

⊲ Identifying key information from readings.

According to this same study, students used the following techniques to improve their reading comprehension:

⊲ Students used what they already knew about a subject.

⊲ Students identified key information in course readings.

⊲ Students read difficult course material more than once.

NSSE also shows that students were rarely interested in using additional study strategies that required added effort and direction. “For example, only about half of students frequently wrote summaries

or created outlines of major topics and ideas and about four in 10 created visual representation of content read.”

All of these strategies can be beneficial to ensuring your student’s academic success. Encourage your student to become familiar with and skilled at a variety of study strategies including the ones listed below which will not only boost their grades, but also their health and energy:

⊲ Study for classes consistently and gradually, not just before a test: an hour tonight, a couple of hours over the weekend, a review of material next week

⊲ Get six-eight hours of sleep every night

⊲ Start the day off with breakfast, whether there’s a test that day or not

⊲ Form study groups with classmates to discuss the material, rather than just memorizing it. This will help make studying more fun and help your student to know the material better, if he has to explain it to others

⊲ Use the professor’s visiting hours. Your student can receive extra help or information on the subject matter by talking to the professor or teacher’s assistant

CU GUIDE

If it hasn’t happened yet, just wait for it. Your student will call you, overwhelmed by the semester’s courses, overloaded by a demanding

social life, or over-amped on caffeine, and looking for a solution to an upcoming test. Should your student pull an all-nighter to study the night before? Should they make flash cards to flip through on the way to class? Should they sleep with their notes under their pillow at night?

Simple Studying Tips for Academic Success


Forego the credit card. Recent legislation banned anyone

under 21 from having a credit card, without a cosigner or significant income. Regardless, the longer your student can put off using a credit card, the easier it will be to avoid debt. No one wants to pay off shower shoes they bought for dorm life 20 years down the road (although shower shoes are definitely a good idea). Stick with debit cards - that way your student won’t be able to spend money they do not have, paying for it in interest for years to come.

Buy used. If your student can delay the

immediate gratification of buying the latest iPhone, camera or MP3 player, they can save up to 50% of the total cost by waiting a year or two. Even buying necessities used, like textbooks, dorm furniture and clothes can make a huge difference in your student’s bank account.

Be smart with the Smart phone. Your student’s cell phone will likely be

one of their most essential belongings. Shop around for the best plan, as well as

Here are a few tips to help your student stay out of debt in college:

the best phone. Having a dependable way to call, text and even check e-mail will be a top priority. Exceeding free minutes or texts can rack up the charges fast, so make sure the plan is reasonable and realistic and set boundaries around who pays the bill each month.

Play the host or pay the most. Your student’s social life may

consist of going out to eat regularly. However, choosing to stay in can save dollars. By buying groceries, cooking for several friends, and splitting the cost, your student can save both calories and money -- especially if the alternative is expensive, greasy food.

Think staycation. Sure, a tropical beach or snow-

powdery slopes sound like the perfect spring break for your student. But the expenses of travel, lodging, recreation, food and drink for one week of fun can drain the bank account dry. Encourage your student to enjoy breaks on a budget. Staying on campus, going home (if it’s close) or camping are great alternatives to pricey breaks.

How to Avoid Debt in College

Financial Tips

Get a job. Of course, any income is better than none. But if your student

spends every penny earned, it doesn’t matter. Setting aside a percentage of money from every paycheck will help your student learn discipline and build a cushion of savings.

Power through. By helping your student make their education a

priority, you will likely save money. Summer classes, online classes and transfer credits often cost less than tuition costs at universities. Stretching a bachelor’s degree to a five-year degree also stretches the wallet, so encourage your student to avoid it if possible.

Budget. Helping your student to develop a budget early on might

prevent excessive or unnecessary expenditures. Help your student to not overspend on weekend trips or purchasing food off campus by encouraging them to budget a certain amount of money each month for both their needs and wants.

CU GUIDE


The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act

Why Can’t I See My Student’s Grades?

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) protects your college student’s privacy and grants them the exclusive

right to view and share their education records such as grades, transcripts, disciplinary records, contact information, and class schedules. Under the law, colleges and universities may not disclose education records to anyone other than the student.

FERPA’s restrictions often frustrate parents, especially parents who pay for tuition. But, as College Parents of America suggests, “Rather than seeing this legislation as a barrier to good college parenting, parents might see this as an important opportunity for meaningful dialogue with a student.”

While working within the restrictions of FERPA, support your student in taking personal responsibility for their transcript and financial obligations. Although this legislation restricts parents from involvement in many ways, it also empowers students to become independent. Encourage your student to be aware of their rights, which will help them take ownership over their education.

Key Things to Remember about FERPA• Colleges and universities cannot

disclose academic information to parents without written consent from the student.

• Do not be frustrated by the law. Use it as an opportunity to help your student develop independence.

• Support your student academically throughout the year and not just when grades are released.

CU GUIDE


Why is the Parent Fund important for student affairs?

The Parent Fund is important to student affairs because it allows the division to support new initiatives and programs that would not otherwise be funded. For example, last year we instituted the after-hours urgent care line, which provides 24/7 service for students and parents to call a professional counselor. We also continue to fund student initiatives such as the Colorado Creed, which promotes honor, integrity, and accountability, and late night programs such as CU Idol and late night movies.

Any additional information you would like for parents to know about the Parent Fund?

We understand these are tough times for many people. However, what better way to invest your money, no matter

The CU Parent Fund

The CU Parent Fund is an annual fund administered by the CU Foundation, the non-profit partner of the University of Colorado. The Parent Fund

helps sustain programs that directly support student success from move-in through graduation. Deb Coffin, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs counts on the Parent Fund to respond to an ever changing student body and to ensure a timely response to critical needs. We recently had the opportunity to talk with Vice Chancellor Coffin about the Parent Fund:

“We ask parents for their help

so that we can develop the next generation of cutting-edge leaders at CU. We are excited about the coming year and thank parents for believing in the work

that we do to.”

A long-time resident of Boulder once said that Pearl Street,

in the 1940s, was “a good place to buy a pair of socks.” Whatever one’s objective, the town’s main thoroughfare has been many things to many people during its decades-long evolution from mud to mall.

Boulder began as a supply town for gold miners in the mountains, and Pearl Street is believed to have been named for the wife of one of the town’s 54 founders. When these men established the Boulder City Town Company on February 10, 1859, the land was part of the hunting grounds for roaming bands of Arapahos.

In a much paraphrased account twenty-two years later, Chief Niwot, also known as Chief Left Hand, supposedly proclaimed that the Boulder valley was so beautiful that people seeing it will want to stay, and their staying will be the undoing of its beauty. This became known as “Niwot’s curse” or, in modern terminology, an early attempt at growth control.

The gold-seekers stayed anyway, and they drove a stake into the middle of the present-day intersection of Broadway and Pearl. Surveyors sighted across the stake to Valmont Butte, to the east, to determine a straight line for Pearl Street.

In the early days, whenever it rained or snowed and horse-drawn freight wagons and carriages shuttled provisions and people around town, the street was thick with ruts. In the summertime, it billowed with dust and flies. To encourage shoppers to come into their stores, individual business owners built their own wooden sidewalks – but they didn’t always match the height or the width of those of their neighbors. In the 1880s, the boardwalks were removed and replaced with flagstones.

A horse-drawn streetcar seemed like a good idea when it was introduced in 1891. Laborers plowed and scraped Pearl Street and laid tracks. After a horse pulled the

wooden streetcar in one direction, it was unhitched and moved to the other end for the return ride. When the novelty of the paying customers wore off, the streetcar went out of business. A decade later, and with a little more sophistication, Boulder residents welcomed the new electric streetcars that wound their way through town. At the time, crushed rock created a smoother and cleaner road surface.

Large streetcars of the Interurban Railroad transported passengers along Pearl Street from 12th Street (now Broadway) to 31st Street, beginning in 1908. Pedestrians could jump on and off while

doing their business downtown, or ride all the way to Denver.

By 1917, the automobile era was firmly entrenched, and Pearl, between 11th and 17th streets, became the first street in Boulder to be paved. Uniform 15-foot-wide concrete sidewalks flanked either side.

Storefronts were lowered in the 1930s, in an attempt at modernization. During the next few years, Boulder’s main street remained relatively unchanged, except for the city’s first streetlight – at Pearl and Broadway. By the 1950s and 1960s, architectural preferences changed, and business owners covered many of the historic buildings with metal facades. Streetcars were

long-gone, and shopping centers on the outskirts of town became more convenient for busy post-World War II housewives. The 1960s and much of the 1970s was a time of transition, as social and political upheaval rocked the country. In Boulder, an increase in crime coincided with a doubling of the population and the deterioration of downtown. To keep the commercial core viable, farsighted citizens began a series of planning groups. The first, in 1966, was the “Committee for the Exploration of the Core Area Potential” (CECAP), later renamed “Boulder Tomorrow, Inc.”

Victor Gruen Associates then drafted elaborate plans which never materialized, but architect Carl

Worthington came up with the four-block-pedestrian-mall concept. In 1970, Governor John A. Love signed the “Public Mall Act,” officially paving the way for Boulder and other Colorado cities to close streets for the construction of pedestrian malls. That same year, the city of Boulder established the Central Area General Improvement District (CAGID) to provide parking and improvements for a thirty-five-block downtown area.

In 1974, Boulder Mayor Penfield Tate appointed a “Core Area Revitalization Committee” (CARC). Despite controversies relating to a projected lack of parking and disruption of businesses, the Boulder City Council passed a resolution to establish the “Downtown Boulder Mall.” The section of Pearl Street between 11th and 15th streets was closed to traffic in June 1976. Residents got used to driving a one-way loop around downtown and walking to the still-open businesses.

Dedication day for the Pearl Street Mall took place on August 6, 1977, changing the face of Pearl Street once again. Since then, long-standing buildings have been restored, and national and local historic designations ensure that the historic character of downtown Boulder will be maintained. Richard Foy, Co-Chair of Communications Arts, Inc. summed up the mall’s success by stating: “Pearl Street, once Boulder’s commercial artery, has become its cultural heart and soul.” - Silvia Pettem
