We recognize your student's transition to college can be just as big of a transition for you. We partner closely with the Office Parent & Family Engagement to offer events focused on exploring resources to help you support your student as they navigate the realities of college life.

Orientation Communications

Orientation Programs will copy you on email messages sent to your student up until the first day of class. You will also receive additional  family-only emails from Orientation Programs and Parent & Family Engagement to keep you updated along the way.
