At Scripps College, we know that parents and families play a vital role in fostering their student’s growth and in contributing to a fulfilling educational experience. We are all invested in making sure that your student thrives while at Scripps. The Office of Parent Engagement and Philanthropy is here to help provide you valuable insight into the student experience and equip you with tools and resources to best support your student while they are on campus.
Our team partners closely with the offices and departments across campus – from Residential Life, Student Engagement, and Academic Services to Financial Aid, Student Accounts, and the Registrar. Just as Student Affairs works around the clock with students to create a supportive learning and social environment, the Office of Parent Engagement and Philanthropy works directly with parents and families to provide you with the information and strategies for positive family engagement in your student’s Scripps journey.
The transition to college life is an important time for both the student and their family. Your student’s success at Scripps is determined by more than just what happens in the classroom. It is vital that families stay connected and involved, in order to foster a successful transition. The Office of Parent Engagement and Philanthropy is committed to keeping you informed and engaged through communications, events, and volunteer opportunities. Finally, by providing internships, mentoring students, and contributing to The Parent Fund, families help the College expand opportunities for future generations of women leaders. Your involvement with the campus contributes to the College’s ongoing strength. We encourage you to discover the ways you can connect with fellow parents and alumnae, enhance student opportunities, and engage in philanthropy.
