Dear Mom and Dad,

I am Bob Wetzel the Director of Guest Relations here at Maranatha. My wife, Sheril, works in the Academic Dean's office assisting Dr. John Brock. We have had two of our daughters graduate from Maranatha, and the third is now a freshman; we have one son who is in 7th grade, so I will have kids in college for a while. 

I would like to try a new idea which is a blog dedicated to the parents of prospective students.   If your family is like mine, your children know about blogs, while you and I have only heard of them.  It is one thing for your child to talk with one of our Admission Counselors, but perhaps you as a parent have some questions that can be answered best by a parent.  Please ask any and all questions you may have about the Maranatha experience. 

My wife and I look forward to interacting with you…from the perspective of a parent.
