From a College Prof

Keep these 5 C’s of college care packages in mind anytime you send something to your college student: convenience, comfort, connection, creativity and customized.

I love telling parents how often their kids talk about them in class and how much they genuinely miss and love their families. And when they get a care package from home? They are absolutely thrilled.

These 5 C’s are what they really need from you–they’re getting plenty of opportunities to focus on academics and career preparation. But sometimes they neglect themselves and struggle to find a balance.

Right now, a thoughtful Halloween care package can be just what they need.

Ken worked at both Brevard College and Montreat College earlier in his career, so it’s always fun to go back.

We visited UNC Asheville for the first time. There’s nothing like college in the mountains.
