Penn State Parents & Families

The Penn State Parents Program is here to partner with you in order to ensure student success, provide opportunities for your engagement with the University, and educate you about resources and services available within the University community.

Our program goals are to:

• Serve as a central resource for parents and families;
• Enhance parent and family involvement opportunities throughout the University community;
• Provide information about the student experience at Penn State; and
• Communicate regularly with parents and families.
