What does the Parents’ Fund support?
The Parents’ Fund is critical to the College by strengthening all areas of campus by helping to meet immediate needs. It supports the student experience through scholarships, faculty enhancement, and student centered programs. It has been identified by our Parent Advisory Council as THE fund for all parents to support in order to make an impact on our school. Please visit our Parents’ Fund page to see stories of the Parents’ Fund in action.
How do I sign up for the Parent Listserv?

How is the Listserv different from the Family Insider?
The parent listserv is an interactive service parents can use to post questions for parents, and College faculty & staff who are also subscribers to the listserv. The Family Insider is a bi-annual e-newsletter sent out to current families to keep them informed of campus stories, events, and news. You will want to subscribe to and read both!
Where do I find the academic calendar?
Please visit the Registrar’s office website.
I have some more questions. Who can I call or email?
Our faculty & staff are eager to help you! Feel free to call or email Laurie Soenen, Director, Annual Giving Programs, and she can point you in the right direction.
