  Family & Parents › Involvement & Giving
  Parents and families play an important role in our success and are encouraged to become active members of the university community, by becoming involved in the following ways:
  Learn about resources and programs available to your student through Undergraduate Family Orientation, the Tartan Family Webinar Series, and the parent and family newsletter.
  Participate in campus events such as Family Weekend and Spring Carnival.
  Attend events in your local area sponsored by the Alumni Association. Parents and family members are always welcome, even if you are not a CMU alumnus.

  Parents and families are also invited to engage with Carnegie Mellon University through philanthropy. Your gift makes a significant and direct impact on your student and other students by helping to sustain and enhance the CMU experience, both in and outside the classroom, thus bringing world-class faculty and resources to CMU. Learn more about what you can make possible with a gift to CMU.
  We encourage parents and families to support a fund that is meaningful to you or your student with a donation of any size. For more information on leadership giving, learn about the Parents Leadership Circle.
