The first year at a new institution is full of challenges and rewards for new students. It is a time of transition for students who are taking a major step toward the development of their personal, intellectual and career futures. This event also marks a significant change in the lives of their families.
In addition to the resources offered through New Student Programs on this website, Alumni & Parent Relations has a number of services to assist you as family members as you assist and support your student. Check out their website for a Parent Handbook and parent newsletter as well as information about Family Weekend. In addition, you may also wish to sign up for the Parent Connect to receive monthly updates about current activities on campus and other current relevant topics to discuss with your student.
