PLACES TO EAT There’s a good chance you will want to have lunch or dinner together as a family. Fortunately, St. Louis is known for its great food and dining. Below are a few favorites from students on the First Year Center Executive Board.

ST. LOUIS HIGHLIGHTS We hope you have an opportunity to explore the St. Louis area through the various tours provided during Parent & Family Weekend. The city has so much to offer outside of campus – here are some of our favorite spots!

FOREST PARK Located in the heart of St. Louis, Forest Park is one of the largest public parks in the country. Along with great running and walking trails, Forest Park contains many St. Louis attractions including the Saint Louis Art Museum, Missouri History Museum, Saint Louis Science Center, Saint Louis Zoo, and The Muny, which is the U.S.’s biggest outdoor theatre. If you have time, take your family to explore this city treasure. Tip: Check out the Grand Basin near the Art Museum. It’s a beautiful remnant from the 1904 World’s Fair held in St. Louis.

CITY MUSEUM Not your typical museum, City Museum is often characterized as a playground for adults. Formerly an abandoned shoe factory, you will find a five-story jungle gym, monster slide, rooftop Ferris wheel and so much more. Tip: Check out the rooftop Ferris wheel and school bus!

RESOURCES FOR FAMILIES Ways to stay informed, involved, and connected.

THE FIRST YEAR CENTER

The First Year Center brings together people, programs, and resources to assist new students in their transition to Washington University.

PARENT PROGRAMS

Although geographically scattered, Washington University parents share a central value: they want their students to have the very best undergraduate experience possible. As a parent of a Washington University student, it is important you have opportunities to connect with fellow parents and with the University. Here are some of the ways parents can stay informed, involved, and connected: • Alumni & Parents Admission Program (APAP): Parent members have the opportunity to host or attend receptions for admitted and enrolling students, represent the University at college fairs, and be resources for parents for recently admitted students. • Career Center: Parents can become part of the WashU professional community by posting any co-op, internship, or full-time positions your organization may have available. You can also help by introducing Career Center staff to the Human Resources or recruiting team in your company.

ALUMNI AND PARENTS ADMISSION PROGRAM Become an Admissions Volunteer The Alumni and Parents Admission Program (APAP) is a group of dedicated Washington University alumni and parents who assist with the undergraduate admissions process in their communities. APAP members help the University recruit, interview, enroll, and welcome talented students. Washington University parents are in a special position to communicate undergraduate student experiences, as well as what is to be gained from a WashU education. In addition, they help to personalize what might otherwise seem like a formal and form-laden process. Few people are better qualified to promote Washington University than parents of current students. Parent members of APAP have an important perspective to share with prospective families as they consider Washington University. APAP parent members may host and attend receptions; staff college fairs; participate in Parent to Parent Calling, the Parents Resource List, and the International Resource List; and help to spread the word about WashU. APAP volunteers make a significant contribution to the University community while making connections with one another in cities all over the world. For information about how to get involved with APAP or to join, please visit apap.wustl.edu, or contact us at (800 or 314) 935-4826 or apap@wustl.edu.
