The Parents Program is designed to inform, involve and engage parents of undergraduate students in the Penn community.  We focus our efforts on:

Communications:pdf The Parents Programs sends out a fall and spring newsletter to all current parents and maintains this web site to keeps parents informed about what is happening on campus and regionally.  We also serve as a valuable resource for parents to learn more about the University and Philadelphia.

Activities and Events: The Parents Program coordinates events and activities for parents to participate in regionally and on campus.  Some of these events include Welcome Receptions for the incoming class, New and International Parent Orientation, and Family Weekend. In addition, parents are invited to participate in University programming developed by select alumni clubs.

Volunteer Opportunities: Parent volunteers are ambassadors of goodwill promoting a cause they believe worthwhile: the education and wellbeing of students at Penn and the entire Penn community. Being a parent volunteer is one more way to stay connected and involved in your child’s Penn experience. Please contact us if you are interested in becoming a parent volunteer.

Parents Fund: Monies raised by the Parents Fund go directly to where the need is greatest to help Penn maintain its reputation for academic excellence.  To learn more about the success of the Parents Fund, please view our progress report.
