Biographical and Historical Note
WFU's Office of Parent Programs began around 2010. In 2016, the Office became the Office of Family Engagement in 2016. The name change reflected the Office's goal, to engage families in life at Wake Forest. The Office of Family Engagement provides information to families about upcoming dates and events, family weekend, and other resources to aide in paying student's tuition, mailing objects to campus, and advice on emotionally supporting a student. The Office also offers ways for parents to engage with organizations that help students, such as the Parents' Council. Parents' Council serves as a way for parents of current students to commmunicate ideas to the University.
