Welcome Parents & Family!
Parent and Family Relations, in collaboration with offices across the University, helps parents understand and support the student experience, learning and growth. This office assists in orienting families to the University of Rochester and serves as a resource for parents throughout their student's undergraduate career. It is our goal that, as a member of the University of Rochester parent community, you feel informed, valued and respected.
If you have any thoughts on ways we can improve our communication with you, please contact the Parent and Family Relations Office.
