Make a Difference
Welcome to the Western New England University family! We consider the parents and family members of our students as partners in the University journey.
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to the Parents Association. Since its founding in 1978, the Parents Association has been a vital force in the enhancement of student life. With your help we can continue in this goal. All parents of enrolled students are automatically members of the Parents Association.
Our projects are designed to improve campus life for all students rather than any particular interest group.
Parents also have the opportunity to become more integrally involved in the direction of the Association by attending the annual and quarterly meetings. All parents are invited to actively participate at our quarterly meetings and to help decide how the Parents Association can improve the quality of life at the University.
Hope that you would consider being part of the Parents Association family at Western New England University!
