Dear T-Bird Parents & Families,
We are so excited to have our students back on campus! For those incoming students and their families, please see our Move-In Day, Thunder U, and Parent Orientation schedules below.
Welcome Week will take place September 8th-11th. Encourage your student to go to these events to make new friends and get involved. If they are nervous about going, have them stop by the Nest before large events for meet-ups so they can go to an event with a group.
We are here to help families stay connected to campus and to keep them informed. You can follow @SUUParents on Instagram, and our SUU Parent and Family Services page on Facebook. You can also check out our website at suu.edu/parents to go through our Parent Online Orientation. We are so excited to work with you to help your student find success at SUU. Please let us know if you have any questions, we are more than happy to help.
