We are asking students to write a letter to themselves envisioning their future and where they want to be in five years. What are some experiences they wish to have or goals they would like to accomplish in that time? They will deposit their letters with us during this special ceremony. We will keep their letter safe until Summer 2024 when we will mail them to the address they provided. This ceremony also serves as the farewell event for students and their families.

After this event, Parent and Family Orientation ends and students will continue with their orientation program until the first day of classes on Wednesday.

GET INVOLVED. Contact the Office of Parent and Family Relations or go to the website to learn about on-campus and regional events and the Parent Ambassador Program.
