Whether your Eagle is new to AU or is approaching graduation, we are here for you. Our family webinar series seeks to introduce you to our staff and resources while we focus on ways in which parents and champions can work in partnership with us to best support students on their journey.
Our 2024-2025 schedule is coming soon! See last year's topics below.
September 16 | President's Listening Session with AU Families
We invite you to join President Jon Alger for a listening session with AU parents and families. Throughout the semester, President Alger is engaging in an active listening tour to learn more about the AU community by asking questions and soliciting feedback as he develops his vision for the university’s future. This is your opportunity to share your thoughts about what makes AU special and unique, and how we can build a stronger, better AU.
The Parent and Family session will be held on Monday, September 16, 2024, via Zoom at 7:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. EDT. Register to attend here.
We hope you will also join President Alger at the President’s Welcome during Family Weekend (September 27-29).
July 25 | Helping Your Student Start and Stay Strong Academically
Sending your child to college involves a lot of transition for the students AND for the parents and families that support them! In this session, Dr. Bridget Trogden (AU’s Dean of Undergraduate Education and Academic Student Services) is drawing on what we know about new students and her twenty years of experience as a professor to bring you valuable information about helping your student start and stay strong academically in the first year at AU. We will cover key vocabulary for you to know, highlight supports available for your student’s development as a learner, and discuss strategies and first semester milestones.
Recordings of this and all of our webinars are shared to our YouTube playlist as featured above on this page. You can watch Helping Your Student Start and Stay Strong Academically here.
