Welcome, Torero Parents and Families.
We are so excited to have you join our community! Parent and Family Orientation is your opportunity to learn more about different resources available to your student, hear advice and insight on your new role as a collegiate parent, and meet other new Torero families!
Registration will close at 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, August 24. Further details and logistics (parking details, maps, etc.) will be sent to registrants shortly after.
