University of Denver Parent Guide
University of Denver Parents Association
The Parents Association was established in 1994 to encourage mutual understanding and facilitate communication between the University and parents, to provide opportunities for parents to be actively involved in their students' college experience, and to sponsor programs and provide services that meet the needs of DU parents.
The Parents Association Web site, offers important information, opportunities for involvement, and event registration.
The electronic newsletter, Parents@DU is e-mailed bi-monthly to interested parents. To be on our email list, provide your email address to our office and let us know what year your student will begin in the fall quarter.
Homecoming/Parents & Family Weekend and Moms and Dads Weekends are enjoyable times for parents and family to visit their students and campus. Dates, schedules, and registration information may be found at our web site.
We encourage you to join the Parents Association
