Parents

In PUB, parents play a very important role in advancing the intellectual, social, cultural, and career development of their children. PUB is not a place where parents just drop off their children. Rather it is a place where we all join together to help the children be the best that they can be. Some parents may feel that they aren't equipped to help their child in this way...but you are. There are no secrets - all that's needed is for you to show you care by being involved in PUB right along with them.

There are many different ways for parents to be involved in PUB. Some are required as a result of your child's membership in PUB; some are to enhance parents' experience. Others are voluntary and provide a chance to have some good old-fashioned fun. Yet others serve to raise funds to further enhance the participants' experience. Examples of parent activities include residence hall monitoring, fundraising, organizing Family Fun Day, and attending the Annual Parent Empowerment Conference. All of this is organized and implemented under the umbrella of the Project Upward Bound Parent Association (PUBPA)
