About Stan Dura
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I can help answer questions of parents and students about many of the "out of the classroom" aspects of learning and American college life, including relationships (with peers, parents, faculty, and staff), campus living, getting involved, first year issues and concerns, alcohol and drug use, career development, utilizing campus resources, leadership development, etc. I am not qualified to answer specific questions about homework topics (other than above), financial aid eligibility, or questions of a personal nature that may deserve the attention of a licensed counselor.
