Helping your student doesn’t end with move-in. Stay in contact several ways: first, check out University Housing’s web site at http://housing.uiowa.edu and subscribe to a timely e-mail newsletter (click on “Parents & Visitors” and then “News for Parents”), which includes deadlines and news relevant to your son’s or daughter’s residence hall experience. Also, be involved in the University by volunteering to serve on the Parents Association Advisory Board or by participating in Family Weekend. Or surprise your student with a care package from Hawkeye Treats.
