Parents and Family Members

The beginning of a college career marks many changes in students and their relationships with family and friends. It can also mean changes in beliefs, values, behaviors, and attitudes. The University believes that parents and family members provide a crucial support base for the new experiences of their student. Understanding and adjusting to these changes is an exciting challenge for both students and parents. The Office of New Student Programs exists to help new students and their families with this transition. Parents can also visit our M-parent webpage.
