WELCOME TO THE ALVERNIA UNIVERSITY FAMILY

At ÃÄÄïÖ±²¥, we believe informed and supportive parents/guardians play a key role in a student's educational achievements.  For that reason, we want to help you participate in your student's experience at ÃÄÄïÖ±²¥ by providing opportunities and resources to make it easy for you to stay engaged.  Our goal is to make the ÃÄÄïÖ±²¥ experience as positive for you as it is for your student.  

On a daily basis, you can help raise the University's visibility and presence within your community.  At your job, your place of worship or with friends and family, you can be an ambassador for ÃÄÄïÖ±²¥ just by sharing your student's experience with others.  Parents and families are important partners in our efforts to provide students with everything they need to learn, grow and fulfill their passion.

As you commence on this journey, there will be many opportunities for you to be engaged.  Below is just a sampling of some ways you can get involved.

We welcome you and look forward to your involvement.  If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at Daniel.Hartzman@alvernia.edu.
