Parents Program

Staying connected with your son or daughter during his or her college years is important. In an effort to keep parents and their children in touch, Saint Joseph's has established the Parents Program.

The Parents Program cultivates lasting relationships between parents and the University. Saint Joseph's realizes parents are one of its greatest resources. This program focuses on developing parent involvement for career mentoring and internships for current students. Other plans include parents acting as contacts for new students and hosts for parent-centered events in various regions throughout the country.

Parents Fund

As part of the Parents Program, an executive council of parents has been formed to serve as University ambassadors — to get other parents involved in academic leadership and to assist the University in increasing support for The Saint Joseph's Fund, through the Parents Fund.

The Parents Fund enhances the philanthropic efforts of current parents. By designating a particular activity or program for your contribution, you will have a direct impact on today's students, including your son or daughter. The Loyola Society, a leadership-giving level of the Parents Fund, acknowledges those parents who go one step further to ensure the future of Saint Joseph's academic, spiritual, social, athletic, and service life on campus. Your gift of $1,000 or more can be designated to the University's greatest need, the endowment, scholarships, athletics, or any number of special interest groups on campus.
