Ways for You to Get Involved

Attend Monthly Parent and Family Meetings!

All parents and family members are encouraged to attend monthly Parent and Family meetings. The Parent and Family monthly meetings are designed to help families create lasting, meaningful interactions between Rutgers University and the families of Rutgers students. By attending meetings, members can build relationships with other families, share advice, and receive guidance on how to best support their student.

Our meetings also allow parents and family members the opportunity to connect with university departments in an intimate setting and learn about the many benefits these resources provide to students and their families. Past meetings have included presentations from Career Exploration and Success, Study Abroad, and the Rutgers University Police Department. We have also taken behind-the-scenes tours of the Livingston Dining Commons and College Avenue Recreation Center.

First timers are always welcome to the monthly meetings! Refreshments and free parking are provided for every meeting. For dates, times and location of meetings, please visit parents.rutgers.edu.
