Lots of things change. But your involvement in your child's life doesn't have to be one of them.

At the University of Dayton, we realize support from family plays a strong role in your student's success, and we want you to be involved.

To assist with this process, we are providing resources that you may find helpful.

And each fall, we welcome parents and families to return to campus and experience our community spirit firsthand. Events include a football game, a 5K run, a cornhole tournament, social events and, most importantly, quality time with your student.
