Mission Statement

Rowan University Office of Parent and Family Connections Program provides comprehensive resources and programs for parents that are designed to enhance their understanding of the university experience, support student success, and promote an appropriate role for parents and family members within the university community.

• Communicate regularly with parents and family members through responses to inquiries, email, newsletters, and the parents and family website
• Serve as an avenue of communication and information for parents of prospective students
• Affirm the important role parents and family members play in the educational lives of their students and empower their student to take responsibility for becoming a civically engaged individual
