Parent Checklist

It’s five ‘o’ clock pm, do you know where your son or daughter may be? Well... when they’re an FHSU Tiger, they’ll be dining in McMindes Hall Cafeteria and not raiding your fridge anymore! We know that sending your son or daughter off to college can be a scary time...but we want you to know, that we are with you every step of the way. Here are a few things for Future Tiger Parents to keep in mind and check off your “To Do” list:
