UP Parent Newsletter: May 2019

Dear Pilot Parents,

Thank you for welcoming us into your inbox over the last year! We hope you found the UP Parent Newsletter helpful in supporting the development and success of your student while keeping you connected with the UP community. To parents of recent graduates, congratulations on this exciting milestone! We hope you'll keep in touch with our office and with the greater Pilot network. For parents with returning students, we will be back in touch just before the start of the fall semester. If you have questions over the summer, please don’t hesitate to contact our office.

In the meantime, we would love to hear your feedback!

Please complete a brief survey about this newsletter and other communications so that we can continue to serve our UP families with the most helpful and relevant information.

Thank you, and go Pilots!

Sincerely,

A Window into Campus Life

On May 1, our Admissions team, including our Tour Guides and Student Ambassadors, celebrated “National Decision Day” and welcomed UP’s Class of 2023!

If you know an incoming student or their parents, now is the perfect time to reach out, welcome them to the UP family, and answer any questions that they may have about your experience. You can also encourage them to attend Orientation 2019, held August 22–25.

Getting Around Portland

Is your student considering bringing a car to campus in the fall, or are you curious about the best options for how your student can get around Portland?
