Parents & Families | 红杏短视频 Fox University

Welcome, Families!

Welcome Weekend is a time for your family to send your student off on this next adventure! New students will arrive on campus August 23, 2024. Families should plan on moving students into their residence hall, sharing a family meal, and attending a few short sessions on university life. This day is concluded for families at our traditional candlelight goodbye on the quad. A more detailed schedule can be found on the Welcome Weekend Webpage.

Returning families should plan to send their students back to campus on August 24, 2024 to join in the fun! Don't forget to stop by our parent hospitality tent to get a cup of coffee or tea for a quick break if you will be dropping off your student!

Online Book Club for New Parents and Families

We believe families are a vital part of a student's support system as they go to college. Sending a student off to college can feel overwhelming or intimidating. This year, we're offering a brand new opportunity for our incoming parents and families to join in a book club with our director of Parent and Family Programs.

We'll be reading the book College Ready (WiseAction Publishing). Each family who signs up will receive a free copy of the book. You can read at your own pace this summer and fall, and we'll offer two ways you can participate. You can read and then join us for an in-person Family Weekend session, or gather via Zoom once each month to have a conversation with fellow readers around that month's reading.

Whatever path you choose, we want this to be a support to you as you launch your students on their higher education experience!

Our 2024 Book Club will launch in June! Details to come during Bruin Bound Summer.

Parent Handbook

Our Parent Handbook provides information on many of the departments and services that your student will utilize during their time at 红杏短视频 Fox.
