Parents and Family Engagement
Welcome Parents and Families!
When you're the parent, family or supporter of a Blue Hen, you're part of our family, too. We’re here to help you stay informed, engaged and connected to the University and other UD parents. Here, you will find the information, resources and support needed to help your Blue Hen thrive at UD.
Join the Blue Hen Family Hub
Staying informed is one of the ways proud Blue Hen parents and families can engage with UD, stay connected and support students. UD families are invited to connect with their students at the University of Delaware through the Blue Hen Family Hub. In the Blue Hen Family Hub, parents and families can:
- Access important campus news and deadlines
- Sign up to receive personalized newsletters and announcements
- Share updates with friends and family in the Blue Hen community
- Connect with information and resources to help your student thrive at UD
