Parents

Parents are key players in the success of USJ students.

Parents and families play a vital role in a student’s college experience. Their encouragement, guidance, and support help students navigate academic challenges, personal growth, and important life decisions. By staying informed and engaged, parents can be valuable partners in helping students build confidence, persist through obstacles, and make the most of their time in college.

Parent Council

The University of Saint Joseph Parent Council is a community of dedicated family members who partner with the University to enhance the student experience. By joining the Parent Council, you’ll have the opportunity to stay connected with campus, share valuable feedback, support student-focused initiatives, and help strengthen the USJ community. Whether you’re looking to make a meaningful impact, connect with other USJ families, or stay engaged in your student’s college journey, the Parent Council offers a rewarding way to get involved.
