May Post: Summer Activities for Parents -- Orientation, etc.

As the semester winds down and we say goodbye to some of our students, most of us are also gearing up to welcome new students and families to campus!

Some institutions offer a separate “parent track” at summer orientation, and others choose to keep students and parents together for certain sessions.

What specific orientation programs/sessions have been successful at your institution?
Are there some that were unsuccessful?
Are there other summer activities planned to incorporate parents and families into your campus community? Specific mailings, intentional contacts or events?
