Office of Parent and Family Engagement

Parents and family members of our undergraduate students are an important part of the Carnegie Mellon community. The Office of Parent and Family Engagement is here to share information about university resources, important events and developmental milestones in your student’s experience so that you can facilitate meaningful interactions with your student throughout their Carnegie Mellon journey.

The Parent and Family Engagement team interacts remotely and in-person at Summer Welcome Events, Family Orientation, the Tartan Family Webinar Series, Family Weekend, Spring Carnival, Commencement and other university milestones. Our team also curates The Fence Post, an email newsletter that helps family members stay connected and informed about CMU resources and events. Additionally, the Parent and Family website is a robust source of information that connects family members to university resources for academic support, DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) topics,health and wellbeing, finances, safety and travel.

While you will see the words “parent” or “family” used on most Carnegie Mellon University websites and resources, we want to recognize and include all guardians, family members and others who give our students support. Our parent and family engagement efforts are designed to welcome and include all individuals who support our students throughout their educational journey.

We look forward to working with you to support your student’s success.
