Are there ways for parents to stay involved?
Yes, and not just when it is time to pay the bill. Reed tries to keep parents in the loop as much as possible, beginning with a parent orientation program each August during the first two days of student orientation. In addition, the college maintains a parent-specific web page; mails out a parent handbook, the quarterly campus magazine, and parent communications; and each November hosts Parent and Family Weekend on campus. Other points of involvement include Alumni College—an annual opportunity for parents to return to the classroom under the instruction of Reed professors and alumni—the Parent Council, and meetings and receptions for parents in large cities throughout the academic year.
