Family Focus Events
Every Spring we are excited to offer a series of events dedicated to families. We offer this programming for families to enjoy and learn more about their student’s upcoming experiences in a virtual format.
The programming will be recorded (when we can) and posted here to watch at your convenience, but we encourage you to attend what you can LIVE, so we can answer your questions directly. There are individual registration pages for each event, so make sure to register for each event separately to receive the corresponding Zoom information.
Also! Check out the sidebar for videos from each of our academic departments to hear an update and learn what our students are doing.
