Parent Partners
University of Minnesota parents can help as students are examining
career options and beginning the job search. University students
are seeking professionals to job-shadow, mentors to talk to about
a career, or internship opportunities. Even parents who do not live
in the Twin Cities could provide guidance during school break periods
or by e-mail or phone calls.
If you would be willing to help, call
the Parent Office at 612-626-9291, or e-mail parent
@umn.edu.
Here are other ways parents can contribute to the University of
Minnesota.
 Help
with campus events. Volunteers can talk with parents of new students
at events such as Parent Orientation, parent receptions during move-in
weekend, and Campus Preview Days. E-mail parent@umn.edu
or call 612-626-9291 to volunteer.
Lobby
for the University. Parents are important partners in generating
legislative support for the U of M. Call Mike Dean at 1-800-UM-ALUMS
or link to the following Web site: http://www1.umn.edu/groots/index.php.
Make
a donation to the University Parent
Fund. The fund has been designated to support student
development projects and communications initiatives of the University
Parent Program.
