VSU Parents and Families Association

KSchutlz, DVM

Dear VSU Parents,

As Chairperson of the Valdosta State University Parent's Council, I'd like to invite you to become a member of the VSU Parents & Families Association. The purpose of the Association is to keep you informed about what is happening of VSU through a variety of communication methods and encourage you to visit campus for orientation and special family weekends. Membership in the VSU Parents & Families Association makes it easy for us to keep you up to date with issues and information that affect your VSU student. Below you will find more information about the VSU Parents & Families Association or click here to join now.

The University has grown in terms of student numbers, facility expansion and most importantly in the quality of education. I am sure you will agree that we want VSU to continue these endeavors so our efforts will be more important in the coming months and year. 

Again, thanks to each of you for your entrusting your son or daughter to VSU for their higher education. I look forward to upcoming opportunities to discuss ways to challenge and enrich our student’s lives while at VSU.

Sincerely,

Schultz letter
Kevin Schultz, DVM, Chairperson, VSU Parents Council

 

What does it cost?

Yearly dues for the VSU Parents and Families Association are $50 for two adults living at the same address.

How are membership dues used?

Membership dues are sued to provide for quarterly e-news letters to all members. The majority of membership dues are used in two areas; 1) emergency situations which may arise for individual students, and 2) supporting students for opportunities that enhance the educational mission of the university.  The Parents and Families Association is also the main sponsor for the annual Student Leadership Awards Banquet held in spring semester.  This banquet recognizes student leaders who have made a positive impact on the VSU campus.

The missions of the VSU Parents and Families Association is to promote and sustain an effective working partnership between parents and the University for the benefit and well-being of the students and the University.  The Association will provide parents opportunities to be involved on campus and to meet and work with other parents.

Although your son or daughter has left home for college, they still need your advice, counsel, encouragement and wisdom. Please use this site as a reference if your son or daughter calls you with a concern or issue they can’t answer. We are here to assist students, and to work for their success, so please encourage your son or daughter to ask questions and take responsibility for themselves and their college career.
