Parents and Family Programming

The Purpose of Parent & Family Programs is to:

• Encourage and support parents and family members by fostering a setting for interaction and sharing of common experiences
• Facilitate communication between parents, students, and the university through a support group like atmosphere.
• Aid in the transition of parents and students to Augusta
• Promote and hold programs and volunteer services that meet the needs of families and engages parents in the university community

If you have a student attending Augusta University you are automatically a member of the Parent & Family Association. We encourage you to be involved in a number of ways ranging from attending events, volunteer on behalf of the association, serving on the board, and/or giving to the Family Fund (A fund that supports initiatives such as scholarships and emergency loans for students).
