Welcome Letter

Welcome to Montgomery College!

As parents and family members, you are officially a part of the Montgomery College (MC) family. We believe establishing a relationship with parents and family members is an important component of a successful MC experience for students. We are here to offer support to you; so that you can, in turn, discover the best way to assist your student while also enabling him or her to take responsibility. We value you as a partner in your student’s educational process.

Coming to college is a big step, regardless of a person's background. At MC, we recognize the investment this requires as a student and as a parent or family member. Students often face challenges which may overwhelm or confuse them as they encounter periods of growth, self-reflection, and independence. Parents and family members can often make such obstacles easier to overcome; however, assisting your son or daughter, or family member is not always easy and can provide its own unique set of challenges. MC is committed to the success of your student.

This summer, we launched the Parent & Family Engagement (PFE) Web site to ensure that you have the information you need and to provide you with the opportunity to communicate your concerns through blogging and a PFE survey. This web site has information to help connect you with valuable news, resources and services, to inform you about important student issues and to facilitate your involvement.

We hope you will take advantage of the opportunities that await you, that you will continue to play an active role in your student's life and let us know what information you want. If you are unable to find what you're looking for, if you have questions or concerns, or if you need assistance in any way, please contact me in Student Development.

Sincerely,

Ever R.C. Grier, M.ED
