Abstract

Within higher education, students’ parents and families are representative of more diverse family configurations (Redding, Murphy, & Sheley, 2011) with multiple forms of involvement and engagement. Inclusive programming for college students’ families creates an environment for a range of opportunities to further strengthen familial relationships that are known to contribute to enhanced college transition and success for students (Carney-Hall, 2008; Kiyama & Harper, 2015).
