Welcome to the University of Michigan, and thank you for joining us on campus for Parents & Family Weekend 2011! Whether this is your student’s first year at Michigan or the last, Parents & Family Weekend has something for you. We hope you take full advantage of the wonderful activities on campus, and enjoy this special weekend with your student.
By visiting campus this weekend, or at any time, you are providing a support network for your student that only you can provide. In fact, parents and family members play a vital role in the lives of college students. Many students still count on their parents to remain a steady and stable source of support and guidance. Parents can serve as mentors, offering advice and encouragement, while also promoting independence, autonomy, and responsibility.
We have found that families, who are informed about campus and local resources, are better equipped to serve as a referral source for their student. The University of Michigan offers many sources of information for parents, including this University Parent Guide to the University of Michigan. In addition to comprehensive Parents & Family Weekend information, this Guide provides general information about lodging, dining, and other Ann Arbor area information. We hope you will find it useful during your Parents & Family Weekend experience and beyond.
In addition, families can always utilize the M-Parent web site. This website is your road map to the services and resources at the University of Michigan. It also provides information about important dates and newsworthy items of interest to parents.
Thank you for supporting your student by attending Parents & Family Weekend. Go Blue!
