Written by Maureen Brakke

MONMOUTH, Ore.Sending your child to college is an incredible journey, but staying connected with their campus life can be challenging for many families. That’s why Western Oregon University is introducing something truly special!

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of the new Western Oregon Family Portal, created in partnership with CampusESP and designed to serve as an all-in-one hub for families eager to stay engaged with their student’s experience on campus.

Recently launched, this free resource offers Western Oregon University families a chance to plugin to campus events.

“Each year I hear from more and more family members eager to support their student, but not sure where or how to start,” said Megan Habermann-Guthrie, director of New Student and Family Programs. “This new family portal will give parents and other family support members the tools they need to know critical deadlines, campus resources, and other information about how to support their student during their time at WOU.”

By signing up for the Western Oregon Family Portal families will also receive a personalized email newsletter and gain access to the newsfeed on the portal; fostering communication and connection among families. Choose how often you want to hear from us— weekly, biweekly, or monthly—and get the latest news from Western Oregon University delivered right to your inbox!

With multiple ways to share information, the Western Oregon Family Portal aims to make it easier than ever for families and their students to stay informed about campus life.
