Delaware State University News February 2012 DSU Holds its First-Ever Parent University About 140 parents and other family members attended the institution's first-ever DSU Parent University on Feb. 25. Held in the Martin Luther King Jr. Student Center on campus, the event gave parents the opportunity to attend sessions about study-abroad opportunities, the University's health emphasis, the DSU programs that develop leadership skills, and financial aid. The parents were also able to participate in roundtable discussions with DSU officials on the topics of public safety, advising and housing. Dr. Robin Williams, DSU's First Lady, gave the keynote address, in which she affirmed the important role that parents can play in their children's academic journey. SANDRA M.
