New Student Orientation - Parent & Family Information
As part of our orientation programming we will host parent & family orientation on August 15, 2023 via zoom. You will receive information via mail and your students email regarding this program and how to register. These orientation sessions will provide an opportunity for you to become more familiar with the campus and services available to you and your student so you are able to assist your student in the transition to college. We also hope to ease some of your potential concerns and answer your questions.
