Parents and Guests
During your own program, we will tailor information specifically for parents and family members so that we can properly address all of your important questions, concerns, and to-do items.
Parent and Family Orientation Sessions
We want to help with your transition, too! Throughout the Orientation process, parents and guests will meet faculty, staff, administrators and learn about on-campus resources and off-campus partners. In order to accomplish this we will also host specific events for you to participate in.
Family sessions include topics such as:
- Academic sessions with faculty and staff
- Health and wellness (personal and campus-wide)
- Co-curricular engagement opportunities and unique campus offerings
- Student Financial Services
- Living on campus
Due to COVID-19, all summer 2020 sessions were virtual. Plans are still being developed for summer 2021 but will be posted by May 2021.
Upcoming Information:
Throughout the academic year, parents and family members should be sure to visit the Parent and Family page for up to date resources and new information.
