WELCOME TO THE CAROLINA FAMILY!

In recognition of the critical role that parents play in their students’ college success, the Office of Parents Programs partners with parents and families to educate them about the resources available to support their students’ growth and success.

Goals of the Office of Parents Programs.
1.  To educate parents about the University and the changing parent-student relationship.
2.  To serve as a centralized resource at the University for information, advice, and support for parents. 
3.  To provide parents with resources to encourage their students’ growth and success.

These goals are accomplished through communication, events, partnership, and the Parents Annual Fund.
