Orientation for Parents
Students aren’t the only ones going through big changes during the college years. Parents and families also going through a transition when their student joins the campus community at TU. Each fall we offer a few different meetings and events to help parents and families learn more about campus life, and to help with this transition.
Below you’ll see a sample of the kinds of events and programs that have been available to parents and families in previous orientation experiences.
There are some easy ways to stay connected with everything going on at The University of Tulsa for and with parents, including:
- Follow the TUPFA Facebook page (TUPFA stands for the TU Parent and Family Association).
- Sign-up for occasional emails from the TU Parent and Family Association.
- Follow @utulsa and @StartTU19 on Twitter as well!
Previous Orientation experiences have included:
In the morning:
- Move-in Appointments with Housing (The Office of Housing will contact incoming students to set up these appointments in July).
In the afternoon:
- Parent Information Fair
- Welcome for Multicultural Students
- Meet your Orientation Leader
- Oh the Places You Will Go – interactive storytelling
