Our students’ parents, families and guardians are crucial to their success. Through special programs like Family Weekend and more, we’re committed to involving our students’ support systems in the Georgia State experience.

If you have questions about how you can support your student, we invite you to contact the Student Orientation and Family Engagement office.
