Welcome 51³Ô¹Ï Parents and Families!

Parents and families are important partners on a student's college journey. The New Student and Family Programs team is here to support Eagle families from the time their students enroll through to graduation. We are dedicated to keeping you informed and helping you find the answers and guidance to help you support your student's success.

Family Programming includes communications, webinars, events, and more. We invite you to explore the 51³Ô¹Ï Parents and Families webpage and to check back often for updates. The New Student and Programs team is here to assist! Contact us at eaglefamilies@american.edu.ÌýÌý
