What is University Parent Media (UPM)?

Our mission at University Parent Media is to help colleges and universities augment their parent relations programs through communication tools. We produce Parent and Family Guides, visitor Web sites and e-mail newsletters. Our partner colleges and universities find these resources invaluable for welcoming new parents and families at events such as Parents Weekend and Orientation. Proactive college and university communications help cultivate relationships and "friend-raise," which leads to fund raising.
