Parents' Orientation 2012
At North Carolina State University, we view the relationship we have with our students' parents and families as a partnership - a partnership created to help students be successful. We also know that when parents are informed, students benefit. Therefore, we would like to invite families of new students to a special program just for them during New Student Orientation.

Parents & Families Association

When parents are informed...Students Benefit!

We know that your son or daughter continues to seek your advice and guidance when it comes to college life (and not just when they need money). You'll probably get calls about grades, getting an internship, or roommate issues. This is good. We want you to be an informed resource when your son or daughter calls. That's why we recommend joining the Parents & Families Association.

Intended to strengthen the University's relationship with our student's families, the Parents & Families Association is designed to increase communication with parents and actively involve them in the life of the University. As a member, you will have access to valuable programs and services and will be eligible for additional great benefits.
