Greetings from the Office of Parent Relations.

I trust you find Willamette is a friendly place with faculty and staff who are devoted to both the intellectual and personal development of your daughter or son.

Part of our job in Parent Relations is to ensure you have the opportunity and the avenues to engage the University in a variety of ways. This page contains links and phone numbers for many of the offices parents contact most often, so you may want to bookmark it on your computer for future reference.

With any institution, making the connections you need can be a challenge, so if you’re uncertain who to contact, for feel free to email or contact our office. I’m always glad to hear from parents, especially if I have the chance to help connect you with the right department or person on campus. And, about once a month, I’m on the road visiting with parents about their experience with Willamette and opportunities to become more engaged. I look forward to hearing from you.
