If you are the parent of a new student, you’ll want to mark August 14, from noon–1:30 p.m. CST, on your calendar. The Parent Program and University Communications will be hosting a web chat for Parents of First-Year Students to help answer questions about your student’s initial transition to campus life. If you need a refresher after completing your sessions at SOAR or if other questions have come to mind, this lunch-hour chat is for you. Topics may include housing move-in, homesickness, academics, health and safety, advising, technology, and financial aid. Representatives from the Center for the First-Year Experience, Office of Student Financial Aid, Office of Undergraduate Advising, University Housing, University Police, the Registrar’s Office and the Parent Program will be on hand to answer your questions.

Sponsored by the Center for the First Year Experience.
