Upcoming Events

Parent Orientation is scheduled for Thursday, August 13, 1:30 pm to 6:00 pm.  There’s an optional Campus Tour at 1:30 pm and the reception is on the first floor of Thompson at 2:00 pm.  The Opening Session is in McCoy Meetin' House at 2:30 pm and break-out sessions with faculty and staff are after that.  You'll learn more about expectations of faculty, jobs and internships, student development, residential student information, student involvement opportunities, adjustments for the parents, and more! 

To RSVP your participation in the Parent and Family Orientation, please complete the registration form or call Student Life at (816)584-6377 by August 10.   When you're ready to come to campus, please utilize the Parkville Campus Map to help you determine which entrance to use and which parking lot is best.  If you're driving to campus just for the Parent and Family Orientation, we suggest Parking Lots 2, 3, or 4, as noted on the map.  Or, you can walk to Thompson from Copley Quad or Chesnut student housing. 

It’s an exciting time for your son or daughter, and for you!  We hope you’ll participate in the Parent Orientation to help you best prepare for the adventure ahead!
