Events
Welcome to our events page for families of college students. We understand that the college experience is not just for students but for their families as well. That is why we offer a variety of events designed specifically for parents and family members of college students. These events provide opportunities to connect with other family members, learn about campus resources, and engage in activities that support your student’s success. Whether you are a local or coming from out of town, we encourage you to attend our events and be a part of our campus community. We offer a range of events that are designed to help you stay connected and informed about your student’s college experience.
