As nearly all colleges and universities transitioned to remote learning during March 2020 and subsequently spent the next two years adapting to new educational methods and expectations, we wanted to understand how parents of college students were experiencing these decisions and transitions. We designed a study to understand the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on the family’s role in their students’ college experiences.
The Department of Family Social Science and Minnesota Extension at the University of Minnesota partnered with the professional organization AHEPPP: Family Engagement in Higher Education (AHEPPP) to recruit and survey parents from across the country to understand the impact that the pandemic has made on the family’s role in their students’ college experience.
We surveyed parents twice during 2020 and once in 2021.
