Parents
We want to keep you informed about and connected to Sweet Briar and regularly share newsletters containing information we hope will be helpful.
Parents and families are important partners with the College in your student's education at Sweet Briar. Student self-responsibility and integrity are important values at the College. We want students to celebrate their goals and successes--and to resolve the challenges and problems in their lives. There are many persons at Sweet Briar to assist and support her in her journey.
When questions or situations occur, encourage your daughter to take that first step. At Sweet Briar, students have the primary responsibility for their lives and experience, for meeting the College's expectations, and for the communication of information with their parents or guardians. We strive to help students create a rewarding experience for themselves, both academically and personally.
This emphasis on student responsibility and accountability is especially important when academic or social issues arise. If you contact a staff member about a concern, we will usually want to involve your daughter in the conversation. We recognize that there are some situations in which consulting with families will be important, but ordinarily we want her to solve the matter directly through the numerous campus resources that are available.
