Parents Stay Involved Through the UCR Parents Association!
It’s not always easy to stay involved in your children’s lives when they go off to college. Since 1988, the UCR Parents Association has helped parents stay informed about their students’ undergraduate experiences and provided opportunities for them to get involved on campus. Your free membership entitles you to: Attend quarterly meetings, where you’ll hear from administrators, staff and faculty about what’s happening on campus. VIP invitations to special campus events. Volunteer opportunities at campus activities, such as orientation and commencement. The opportunity to earn points, which you can use to get special seating at campus events.
To sign up for your free membership, or find out about volunteer opportunities, e-mail or call:

Earn points
For every quarterly meeting you attend and campus event you volunteer at, we’ll award you “Participation Points.” Earn enough and you’ll be awarded the coveted “Chancellor’s Reserved Seating” section at Commencement!
