ADVANCE Orientation for Parents
You probably have a lot of questions: What is it like to parent a child in college? What can you and your child expect from four years at Lipscomb? How can you continue to play a productive and responsible role in your child's life as they move on to this new and exciting time?

If your student has already decided to attend Lipscomb University, then we have the perfect program for you. Since students aren't the only ones with questions about college life, we've created a special ADVANCE session, just for the parents of new students!

ADVANCE is our two-day orientation program, designed to help students get the most out of their experience at Lipscomb. It's filled with fun and information for new students. Meanwhile, parents can meet university personnel, tour the campus, connect with other parents and attend important information sessions. One of the highlights is a special dinner for parents, hosted by university administrators.

Join the New Parent Association
We've recently developed a new program: the Parent Association! The goal of this program is to help increase contact and create more effective communication, between Lipscomb's administration and our student's parents. This helps keep parents more in tune with what their child is experiencing here at Lipscomb.
