Welcome New Laker Parents and Guests!

Parents, siblings and extended family members play a vital role in a student's transition into the Oswego community.  The college years are ones of tremendous growth and change for your student.  For families, these years can be a challenging time of adjustment in your relationship with your student.  While your son or daughter will become increasingly independent, he or she will require your support and guidance for success.

Our parent/family progam is designed with your needs in mind.  Although the student and parent/family programs are held on the same dates and at the same times, they are distinct programs each having their own special emphasis on assisting with the transition process.

Whether this is your first or last student to go off to college, whether you live in a small town or a large city, the family/guest program will provide you with valuable information.  This information will help you become familiar with our campus community, resources, programs, and services so you can better support your student's transition to college life.

Mark your calendar: Family and Friends Weekend - Friday through Sunday October 17-19, 2008!

Sincerely,
Nathan Emmons
Assistant Dean of Students
