Family Orientations

Family Members of Freshman Students

Family orientation is designed to help you get to know the University and campus community.  Several sessions have been planned to inform you of available campus resources.  You will meet academic advisors, administrators, professors, and student development professionals from all areas of the University. 

Sessions have been planned to discuss your concerns and answer your questions about the changes you and your student will soon begin to experience.  You will also have the opportunity to meet and network with other parents and family members who are experiencing similar situations, challenges, and celebrations.
