Family Engagement

The Family Engagement half of Student Orientation and Family Engagement ensures student success through informed parent and supporter participation. Through our Laker Family Hub and monthly seminars, supporters are given essential updates and the ability to stay connected with their Laker's campus life!

Join the Laker Supporter Facebook Group to support your Laker's journey at SUNY Oswego! We turn family involvement into student success by answering questions, keeping supporters updated, and creating content designed to help you and your student navigate life at SUNY Oswego.
