For Parents and Guardians

We are excited to support your student on this new journey. Orientation is a required and essential first step and we hope you will encourage your student to attend and engage with our staff and their peer group. We’ve organized virtual resources to explore over the summer, and we have planned in-person sessions that will provide crucial information for a positive and successful first year.

We understand that this transition can bring about anxiety and uncertainty. Please know that we have a range of resources available on campus to support both your student and you.

When the time comes for you to separate from your child, rest assured, we will be there to support both of you through the process.

Our dedicated counselors will be present on move-in day and every day after that.  If your student needs support, our counselors are a great starting point. We are here to ensure that you and your student feel welcomed, supported, and ready to thrive in their new environment.
