Family Involvement
Get Involved Menu
At UTRGV, student success is a shared journey. Our Family Involvement program invites parents, guardians, and all loved ones to stay connected and engaged—from the first day of class to graduation day.
We provide opportunities for families to be part of the university experience through events, communication, and resources that celebrate connection, support, and community.
Family Academy Series
Hosted in collaboration with campus partners, these sessions offer helpful information about UTRGV resources, academic support programs, and how families can actively support student success.
Family Day
Spend the day on campus with your student enjoying activities, giveaways, and opportunities to connect with other Vaquero families. Family Day is all about fun, pride, and making memories that last.
Family of the Year Essay
Our annual essay contest gives students the opportunity to honor the people who have supported them most. It’s a celebration of the love, commitment, and care that family members—however defined—bring to the UTRGV journey.
