Parent Communications
The University endeavors to keep parents informed about what's
happening on campus. All parents of incoming freshmen and transfer
students receive the University
Parent newsletter,
published June, September, January, and March. Past issues can
be found in the newsletter archive.
Parents may also sign up for e-mail updates
to receive periodic special announcements. E-mail messages can also
be read online, see below.
Occasionally, other communications are sent to the University
community. When those communications may be of interest to parents,
they are
posted on this Web site. Also, see University
communications for news about the U.
