This document summarizes a presentation given at the 2014 Naviance Summer Institute about engaging parents in the college selection process. The presentation discusses research showing that parents are increasingly involved and influence college choices. It recommends that colleges conduct research on parental perceptions, employ targeted communication strategies based on parental influence levels, educate alumni to promote the college, and communicate outcomes data to address top parental concerns like campus safety and student support. Tactics suggested for colleges include producing expert content for parents, using social media and other channels to engage parents, and promoting the college through TeenLife Media opportunities.
