Dear Parent of a New Student,

A few days ago, news students received an invitation e-mail (at their syr.edu address) to a New Student Send-Off event in your area. We need your help in getting them there.

Hosted by SU's regional alumni clubs, New Student Send-Offs are a perfect opportunity for first-year students to make friends before they even arrive on campus. They can meet their new classmates, network with area alumni, and get their first dose of Orange spirit. Naturally, you're invited, too, so you can ask questions and get to know other new SU parents and families.

Interested in joining us? Talk it over with your student, then find a New Student Send-Off near you and R.S.V.P. today.

Have questions? Call the Parents Office at 315.443.1200 or e-mail parents@syr.edu. In the meantime, connect with other new parents on our SU parents Facebook page!

We hope to see you soon!

Sincerely,

Colleen Bench
Director, SU Parents Office

Greg Victory
Director, Office of First-Year and Transfer Programs

P.S. Please urge your student to check his or her syr.edu e-mail account regularly, as we'll be sending even more important information in the coming weeks in preparation for Syracuse Welcome in August!
