Welcome to the RiverHawk Family!

Thank you for taking the time to read the Northeastern State University Parent and Family Media Guide. This publication is focused on the parents and families of the students at Northeastern State University.

The administration, faculty and staff at NSU are sincerely committed to assisting your student to achieve great success while at NSU. We also want to be considered a tremendous resource for you and other family members as your student completes the pursuit of their college degree.

This Guide is full of information about the resources available on our campus to assist your student as they learn and develop during the next several years. We look forward to being a partner with you as your student learns self-advocacy and problem-solving skills. We feel that in working together we can make a difference in the life of your student.

We see this Guide as the beginning, the first tool to answer your questions and serve as a resource for you.  We also hope you will plan to participate in Parent Connections, attend band concerts, Homecoming, athletic events, Sequoyah Institute programs, NSU Summer Shows, Family Weekend and at other times as you wish.  You are welcome on our campus at any time.

We are excited to be at the start of our fourth year for the NSU Parent Program. Our membership continues to grow and we strive daily to keep providing our members with timely, useable and pertinent information.  We are always open to suggestions and want to meet the needs you have as a parent of a college student.

Please contact me at myers@nsuok.edu if you have any questions or comments. I will look forward to hearing from you and seeing you as you visit the campus and support your student. It is not easy to support and parent a college student, the next few months and years will bring many opportunities and challenges for you.  Please know we are here to assist you in any way we can.

Sincerely,

Suzanne Myers
Director of Transfer & Parent Programs
