The CU Parents Association at the University of Colorado at Boulder will host a series of orientation barbecues for parents of incoming students in June and July at the University Club.

The barbecues coincide with orientation sessions for new freshmen and transfer students and provide opportunities for new CU-Boulder parents to become acquainted with the association聮s board members, the office of parent relations and staff from student affairs programs and services.

The sessions also provide a time to meet and greet parents from around the world.

Parents of undergraduate students enrolled at the university automatically become members of the CU Parents Association. No fees or dues are required.

Following is the summer barbecue orientation schedule. All sessions will be held at the University Club from 5:45 p.m. to 7 p.m.
