Family Orientation is a great way to get a glimpse of the many different experiences that your son or daughter will have an opportunity to explore at Marquette. The program is designed to help strengthen the three-way partnership that you, your student, and Marquette will share over the next four years. Although we encourage students to take personal responsibility and begin to form positive life behaviors, it is imperative that students have a support system to see them through the many changes and transitions that they will encounter during their college experience. During Family Orientation, family members will have opportunities to meet and interact with members of the Marquette community and to become familiar with our wide range of academic and co-curricular programs.
In order to meet the needs of all family members who wish to participate in the program we have designed the following program options:
One Day Option
The one-day option, designed primarily for those parents and family members who attended PREVIEW, provides parents and family members an opportunity to have final questions answered, attend the President’s Welcome Address, and the Jesuit Reception for Family Members on Wednesday evening.
The cost of the ONE-DAY OPTION is $15 per person, which covers the cost of publications, lunch, dinner and the reception.
