Pacific Family Association

The purpose of the Pacific Family Association (PFA) is to help support student success by partnering with and connecting to campus faculty, staff, and alumni.

All parents and family members of current students are members of the PFA by virtue of having a student enrolled at Pacific. The PFA provides parents and family members the opportunity to know more about what students are doing and helps in finding ways to be supportive. There are many opportunities to build a stronger relationship with Pacific.

Checklist for Families from the Pacific Family Association Board

† Remind your student to carry their Pacific ID Card with them at all times.

† There are departments on campus that can assist your student with their physical, emotional, and academic needs. Encourage your student to take advantage of these services when needed.

† Your student will sign up for PacificConnect at Orientation. Ask your student to sign you up, too! This important service provided by Pacific will contact you and your student in the event of a campus emergency.

† If your student is living on campus, remember to get the name of their residence hall, room number, and Resident Assistant in case of an emergency.

Sign up to receive parent and family information, including periodic special announcements, the Parent E-Newsletter, campus information, and more. Send your email address to parentassociation@pacific.edu; include your student’s name and ID number, and your name.
