The Office of New Student and Family Programs directs key programs that are central to helping students build a successful transition to ÑÇÉ«Ó°¿â. Incoming students participate in both in-person and virtual programs designed to increase a student’s knowledge of resources, clarify academic and career goals, connect with faculty and incoming peers, and become established in their academic journey.

Additionally, we value parents and families as partners. Informed parents are better resources and coaches for their students, and we strive to promote good communication for everyone in the process. Our Mane Event live summer orientations have parent and family tracks, and Family Weekend takes place every October. We also offer a Lion Family Newsletter, which comes out every month.
