Interview
"Marjorie Savage provides a healthy
dose of reality mixed with realistic examples and practical
advice. As a college administrator who works with parent
programs, I can easily see myself encouraging new and
experienced parents of college students to read "You're On
Your Own (But I'm Here if You Need Me)." As a parent, I
found myself flagging pages and underlining text as
reminders of the importance of raising my daughter to be
successfully independent of me."
--Kristin Harper, Senior Associate
Director of Student Life, Texas A&M University
"This is a must read not only for
parents, but for faculty as well. It offers an insight into
and an understanding of the pressures students feel and
their difficulties in dealing with those demands. It reveals
how what goes on outside the classroom and inside the
student has a significant impact on a student's performance
inside the classroom."
--Louis Schmier, Department of
History, Valdosta State University
"Marjorie Savage provides urgently
needed information and cogent advice from a wealth of
research, experience, and observation."
--Marvalene Hughes, Ph.D., President
of California State University, Stanislaus
"Answers to many college parenting
issues and problems in an easily understood format."
--Richard Flaherty, Past President,
College Parents of America
What Parents Are Saying:
"I think your book, You're on Your
Own (But I'm There if You Need Me), is terrific! Various
things that have frustrated me concerning my daughter's
attitude were explained perfectly in your book. I have
laughed, and nodded in agreement, and scolded myself
throughout the whole book. What an eye-opener! What help!"
"I called the high school guidance
counselor and suggested that she read the book and recommend
it to parents of all the college bound students in our home
town."
"I took your hint and mailed out
a card (Halloween) to my daughter today. (I even put a
little money inside.) Thanks so much for writing the book
and giving us such insight."
