Sign up to receive the UI-Parents E-Update, a biweekly compilation of events, activities, dates and more. You will also receive our periodic newsletter, Dads & Moms Illini. Go to this page, scroll down to UIPARENTS and click, then select the Join/Leave link.

Visit our Parent Programs web site often for information on student health, well-being and development. Look through the Feature Articles, the archives and past issues of the Dads & Moms Illini newsletters, find information about the Champaign-Urbana community, travel information and more!

The Message Board is a great place to share ideas, ask questions and post concerns. Parents who serve on the Boards of Directors answer your questions and share their experience from a parent’s perspective, and administrators from across campus offer their insight and years of experience and wisdom.

Contact the Parent Programs Office at uofiparents@illinois.edu or (217) 333-7063 with questions, comments or ideas. Do you have a special talent or skill that might be useful to the work of the Associations? Maybe it’s a second language or artistic talent.  We are looking for creative, innovative ways to work with Illini families, and you just might have the key!

County Representatives are a critical part of our success. County Reps are the bridge between the University and local communities that make the collegiate experience more manageable and personable. Learn more at Information on County Network

Video workshops and a Career Services/Parent Programs webcast are available at Video Workshops.

The Move-In Week Information Booths (August 17-20, 2009) is a service offered by the Moms and Dads Associations to help reduce stress on what can be a hectic day.  These Information Booths, located at key locations on campus, will be staffed by volunteers of the Moms and Dads Associations, ready to answer your questions, offer advice and give directions.  Whether it’s your first move-in experience or not, our booths aim to make the day a little easier.  Think you’ve got it covered?  Then volunteer to staff the booth with us!  Email uofiparents@illinois.edu if you’re interested.
