Are parents encouraged to attend orientation with their student?
Yes! We strongly encourage parents to accompany their student at orientation. Bradley provides many activities specifically for parents to attend. You will have the opportunity to meet other parents who are going through the same experience. Parents will attend a luncheon with the Academic Deans and other university administrators, meet with the Vice President for Student Affairs and attend various support sessions such as Financial Assistance, Smith Career Center and the Center for Learning Assistance. Parents can lodge in a separate residence hall on campus or they may choose to stay in a hotel. We invite you to learn more about Bradley and the university experience with your student.
