Parent Relations, a unit within the Office of the Dean of Students, is dedicated to encouraging mutual understanding and facilitating communication between families, students, and Georgia State University. Parent Relations actively partners with students' parents and families to support students' academic success and personal development. Through programs and initiatives, Parent Relations is dedicated to involving and connecting parents and families of Georgia State University students to the Panther experience. Parent Relations ensures that parents and families have a direct contact to the campus community, keeping them informed on the issues that affect Georgia State University.
Parent Relations hosts a number of major events and programs throughout the year. We hope that you will take an opportunity to attend or participate in as many ways as possible. The list below is just the tip of the iceberg of what the year will hold for Parent Relations. It is our goal to provide opportunities for parents and families to stay connected and involved at GSU.
