Parent and Family Engagement Program

You’re a proud parent / family member. And we’re a proud community of Beavers who are just as invested as you in your student’s growth and success at OSU!

The Parent and Family Engagement Program is designed to bridge the transition from family to college life by keeping parents and families informed and engaged alongside students throughout their OSU journey. We encourage you to be a vital partner in this process! That’s why we will be sharing meaningful communications, tips and ongoing opportunities to help you support and empower your student as they find their footing on campus and thrive as part of the Beaver community.

Stay connected with your student and OSU! Access the Oregon State Family Portal for the latest communications with updates about university life and happenings, student health and safety, helpful resources and more.

Get involved by volunteering (virtually or in person!) alongside other OSU parents for committees and events that bring Beavers and their families together – building strong connections that support students and the university. One great option is the Parent and Family Council. Or explore other opportunities to volunteer, network and advocate for OSU.

Contribute to your student’s success by making a gift ... and encourage other OSU families to do the same!
