Welcome Parents, Family Members and Supporters of BSU Bears!
ϲ recognizes that you are a very important partner in your student's success. We aim to work in partnership with the parents, family members and supporters of our students to ensure your student has a transformational college experience.
The Division of Student Life’s Center for Student Engagement (CSE) provides parents, family members and supporters of our students opportunities to stay connected with the vibrant BSU community as part of our ongoing family engagement efforts and family orientation program.
Defining Family
BSU recognizes that our students have a diverse group of individuals supporting them throughout their time here. For our programming and communication within the Center for Student Engagement, the terms “parent,” “family” and “supporter” are inclusive of the diverse social dynamics that define a student's personal support system. For some students, a “parent” may include biological parents, stepparents, extended family members, foster parents and legal guardians.
“Family,” for students may be immediate family, extended family, siblings or spouses. “Supporter” may be individuals that belong to a student’s family or may be other close friends or service providers in the student’s network.
