It is the mission of this organization to promote
the interests and provide a network of support for those students
returning to college on a full-time basis at a non-traditional age.
This organization, PARSO,
will work to create and improve programs to assist their members
in their social and academic transition to life in a college learning
community. The organization will be a voice toward better serving
and representing the needs of the members of this diverse group.
PARSO will work to make college faculty
and staff more aware of the problems and needs associated with the
students of this group while searching for reasonable solutions.
This group will participate with the student government in a positive
manner by filling a seat on the campus senate. This support group
will work to provide personal and educational support to all members
of this organization and to serve as role models and mentors to
the traditional college student body.
For those of you that feel like your are living two
seperate lives and being pulled in 8 different directions, you are
not alone.
Returning non-traditional students struggle with
this way of life each day, wishing we were like an octopus with
8 arms so we could manage our homework, classes, traveling to and
from college, work, bills, children, family, and housework, to name
a few.
