Join us at Puget Sound for a special opportunity to welcome the families of our newest Loggers! Our Parent & Family Resource Sessions are designed to introduce you to the student experience and the many resources available on campus. Kick off the day with our keynote address, "Becoming a Logger," presented by Moe Stephens, Senior Associate Dean for Student Experience. Then, spend the rest of the day with key offices, mingling with other parents, and exploring campus!

End your day by visiting open house sessions across campus. This is your opportunity to connect with offices you may have missed and get any lingering questions answered.
