Cronkite Parents Community (CPC@DPC)

The Cronkite Parents Community (CPC@DPC) is an all-volunteer auxiliary organization with two goals: 1) to support students in their college experience and provide a nurturing presence at the times when students adjusting to college most need it and 2) to provide a community for parents adjusting to their students being away from home.

The community plans to host several low-key but high-impact events each semester, to include the following:

• A card-sending campaign in mid-September
• A tailgate party at the Family Weekend football game
• Participation in one of Cronkite’s weekly movie nights (where parents will serve popcorn)
• Root-beer-float party on one football away-game night as the game is broadcast on the Cronkite big screen
• Serving smoothies (or similar treats) during Finals Week

There is no cost to participate, though if you are affiliated with a corporation or organization that can donate materials (smoothie ingredients, for instance), such contributions are welcome.
