Parents

Welcome to the LaGrange College family! We realize this campus will be your student's home away from home, and we feel it is important that your family feels comfortable and informed. Know that all our faculty and staff are committed to helping you survive your student's college transition.

Our best advice: Encourage your student's personal growth and opportunities to experience new ideas. As they learn to manage time and money and to make many life-changing decisions, your love and support will confirm you believe in them. Try to avoid the always-looming question, "How are your grades?" Perhaps ask your daughter or son what she or he has learned, inside or outside of the classroom. Beyond the academic experience, LaGrange College offers many opportunities for campus involvement, study-away experiences, community service, fitness and leisure. Remember that mail, food and money can be wonderful motivators!

Over the next four years, you will receive Columns, our magazine for alumni and friends, spring updates from the President, and invitations to various events. Please check our calendar of events [link]online periodically to see what might interest you when you come on campus to visit your son or daughter.

Please keep the college informed of any address changes you may have while your student is in school in order to keep you updated on the news of the campus.

If you have questions and can’t figure out who to contact at the college, know the SOURCE Center can help you. SOURCE—an acronym for Student Opportunity, Undergraduate Resources and Community Engagement—is the go-to resource for both students and parents when they need help getting pointed in the right direction. The SOURCE Center can be reached at (706) 880-8925 or tprater@lagrange.edu.

Your family is an integral component of our campus community. We hope you always feel welcome at LaGrange College!
