Parent and Family Relations

West Chester University’s Office of Parent and Family Relations supports the mission and vision of the University and the Division of Student Affairs by recognizing our WCU community of educators includes parents and families, as we share a common goal of fostering student learning, development, and success.

The Office of Parent and Family Relations is committed to building lasting collaborative partnerships with parents and families by providing intentional information and meaningful engagement opportunities to ensure students are supported in their personal and professional development.

West Chester University’ Office of Parent and Family Relations will be a nationally recognized model for demonstrating excellence in partnership with parents and families to support student success on campus and prepare students to learn, lead, and serve in their communities after graduation.

West Chester University’ Office of Parent and Family Relations believes:

• All parents and families should have access to accurate and timely information about WCU’s services, programs, and opportunities that contribute to student success.
• Parents and family members provide invaluable expertise and wisdom that can be harnessed to support and further University, Division, and department goals.
• Intentional partnerships with parents and families strengthen and enhance the student experience and are integral to fostering student success, retention, and lasting affinity to the institution
