Hand-Holding

Re “Colleges Are Learning to Hold Parents’ Hands,” Nov. 28: Thank you for the article explaining the appointment of college officials who handle communications from parents eager to continue to help their children with decisions about classes and the daily hassles of college life. I have passed your article on to the director of human resources at my company so that we can be proactive and appoint someone to help with the hassles of corporate life when these students graduate. I’m sure that with parents’ help with their job application and coaching advice on their interviews that we will ultimately be hiring some of these students.
