Black Hawk Down: Parents Out of Control
Lauren Furry, Hillsborough Community College

Erin Steele, Hillsborough Community College
Each August, we conduct a four-hour parents orientation. We will share our experiences and the
logistics of our successful orientations which have become increasingly necessary. We have the
challenges of engaging the parents during the recruitment period, but once their children are
accepted, we can no longer discuss their children.
