Parent Orientation is a time for you to make connections with administrators and fellow parents while learning more about the Washington University community.
The 2008 Parent Orientation begins Thursday, August 21 with move-in day. You will spend this day helping your student get settled in his or her residence hall, and activities will begin in the evening. Parent Orientation concludes in the afternoon on Saturday, August 23.
A schedule of events is available by clicking on the Schedule link to the left. The schedule should be helpful as you coordinate your travel plans. Keep in mind, however, that some of the events may change between now and your arrival on campus in August. When you arrive on campus, be sure to pick up the Parent Orientation booklet that will be available at the individual residence halls and the Parent Resource Center. In addition to the most up to date schedule, the booklet provides information about local shopping and dining, as well as hours for on-campus dining locations and university offices.
