Alcala Yearbook 2000

Parent Relations The office of Parent Relations helped to coordinate parent-related events on campus and regionally. Campus events included Move-In Day, Family Weekends, College Visiting Day, Commencement Lun– cheon, and a Summer San Diego Welcome for new freshmen students. Regional events included Summer Send Off receptions for new fresh– men students, career services seminars, holiday parties, and pre and post-game athletic receptions. We also coordinated a national parent volunteer program. Parents may volunteer to serve as goodwill ambas– sadors to the University by assisting with admissions, career services, development, and regional events. Another area of responsibility was to coordinate the fundraising effort for parents. There is a $4000 gap between cost of tuition and the cost of a USD education, the University depends on contributions from parents, alumni and community friends to make the difference.
