Parents and Families

Welcome to the Parents and Families section of our website.  The Liberal Arts Undergraduate Studies website is designed not only to provide you with important information about how you can best support the success of your student, but also to invite your participation in the online community of education we are trying to create.

Here you will find information related to advising, internships, careers, study abroad, commencement, and other important resources.  But you will also find blog posts by students studying abroad or doing an internship, videos produced by our liberal arts students, faculty and staff and, the Liberal Arts Voices podcast which focuses on the liberal arts experience at Penn State.

I hope you will join us here on line to experience something of the transformative power of a liberal arts education. Our world-class faculty, dedicated staff, and thoughtful and energetic students make a liberal arts education at Penn State what it is: a dynamic community committed to empowering students to live fulfilling, responsible and rewarding lives.
