Parents and families are Temple Owls, too.

Congratulations on your student’s acceptance to Temple! Families play such a supportive role in our students’ success and we want to make sure you, just like your student, have the opportunity to get involved here at Temple. 

The Temple Parent and Family Program partners with parents and families to ensure all students succeed from their first year to graduation. We provide opportunities for parents and families to engage with their students, faculty and staff, as well as other parents and family members. Because if your student is a Temple Owl, that means you’re a Temple Owl. 

Hear directly from our Temple Family Council members and how they are connected to the university in the virtual information session below.
