Especially for Parents and Families

---

The Office of Orientation & Family Programs strives to assist family members of incoming students as they transition into the UNCG community. We are here to answer your questions, assist you as your students acclimate to the University, and keep you informed about campus resources, activities, and transition issues.

There are many ways you can stay informed during your favorite Spartan’s time at UNCG:

• Parent/Family Association (PFA)
  Join for free by following the link and start receiving Family Connections, the e-newsletter distributed monthly during the academic year to keep you posted on current happenings at UNCG. You will also have access to FamilyLink, an emergency email notification system to keep families informed in the event of a campus crisis.
• Parent/Family Advisory Council (PFAC)
  The PFAC enhances high quality programs and educational opportunities for students and their families by acting as a liaison between the Parent Family Association and UNCG. Active at campus events involving families from Family Weekend to SOAR, the PFAC also meets biannually with University officials to offer parent and family feedback to the University.
• Family Weekend
  An annual happening for over 20 years, this Spartan tradition of festivities, food, and educational opportunities occurs during FallFest, a great time to visit UNCG and see how the fall semester is going for your student. Mark your calendar for Family Weekend 2008 — September 26-28. Thank you to those who helped make Family Weekend 2007 such a success! See highlights of 2007. See highlights of 2006
