Family Support Makes a Crucial Difference in Online Education

Family involvement is crucial for the success of most online learners. In this video, Dr. Marie Gould Harper, sat down with 2019 graduate Jesus Serafin Jr. and his greatest support system, his family.

His parents shared their pride moments regarding their son, as well as stories about their weekly homework check-ins. His father, Juan Ortiz Jr., is the self-proclaimed “education pusher” in the family and an instructor in the School of Business. Juan echoed his support for his son’s journey and provided a few inspirational words for others looking to persist in online education.
