University of New Mexico Parent Guide
Parents of teens invited to live and learn on campus
Parents of high school students have an opportunity to immerse themselves in a college experience through a new, free program launched in 2008 by UNM Parent Relations.
Parents or guardians of students entering 9th through 11th grade are invited to live and dine on campus and attend casual, informative sessions during the second annual “Parent Experience Program” Friday and Saturday, July 24-25.
Participants are provided with information needed to support a students’ goal of attending a college or university. Information sessions cover college entrance requirements, applications, financial aid, scholarships, college course work and support services.
Parents will also have an opportunity to meet faculty, staff, current students and other parents to create a resource network.
The program is supported by the UNM Division of Student Affairs, New Mexico GEAR UP and Engaging Latino Communities for Education (ENLACE).
For more information, contact the UNM Parent Relations Office, (505) 277-5915.
