Bronco Family Newsletter

Welcome from the Office of

New Student Programs & Family Engagement

Greetings Bronco Family,

I cannot believe we are approaching the middle of the spring semester. This month your students will receive a much-needed instruction break after completing their midterms. We have also reached a point in the year where our newest Broncos have been offered admission to CPP, which means adding new parents, family members, and supporters to our newsletter!

The Office of New Student Programs & Family Engagement is busy planning and preparing for our summer orientation sessions. We are interviewing our last group of student orientation leaders (OLs) this week and look forward to onboarding our cohort of OLs for the 2024-2025 academic year. If you are a parent or supporter of a newly admitted Bronco, we encourage you to join us at a CPP Baseball game this spring for an OL Meet & Greet. You will see more information below.

Our continuing students will begin academic advising at the end of the month and our graduating students will need to ensure they have applied for graduation and stay up to date on commencement information. Not to worry, our team has included those deadlines and relevant links in this month’s newsletter.

We appreciate your support and dedication to your student, and we hope to see you at an event this month!

In Community,

David E., M.A.

Director, New Student Programs & Family Engagement
