Welcome From The Director

The SU Parents Office is here to promote awareness of and involvement in your student's educational experience. Together, we can make the most of your role.

Syracuse University is unique in many ways. One of those ways is to have an office just for you--the parents and guardians of our students--within the Division of Student Affairs. We urge you to take an active role in your student's SU experience. By sharing academic and social activities, you will experience the same excitement, discoveries, challenges, and changes your son or daughter encounters at college. Sharing will strenghten old bonds and create new ones, making it easier for you to understand and support your student.

The mission of the Parents Office is to meet your special needs and assist you in helping your student. I invite you to call or e-mail the Parents Office with your questions and concerns. When visiting our campus, please stop by the Hildegarde and J. Myer Schine Student Center and introduce yourself. I look forward to meeting many of you.

Fondly,

Colleen O'Connor Bench
