Family Programs

Welcome UMass Families!

Welcome to the UMass Amherst community and Family Programs. We are here to assist families with questions, help you stay in touch with campus happenings, and serve as a resource to you through our website, e-newsletter, and Facebook page. We know that the start of college is an exciting time not only for new students, but also for their parents, family members, found-family, and supporters. Whether it’s the first or fifth family member to take this step, each time is different, and families have many hopes, concerns, and questions about their student attending UMass Amherst.
