Parent Pays It Forward at Family Orientation

Carolyn Karger welcomes families in Gregory Gym.

New students aren’t the only ones receiving a Longhorn welcome this summer—Texas Parents is busy introducing thousands of families to the Forty Acres. During Family Orientation, they learn more about The University of Texas at Austin, gaining resources to help them support their students. The experience still resonates with Carolyn Karger, BA ’87. She attended the one-day orientation program in 2014 and now she’s one of 50 volunteers helping Texas Parents this summer. After a welcoming informational program in Gregory Gym, families meet with their student’s college or school. In the afternoon, parents have a choice to attend workshops with campus departments including Housing and Food Service, Office of the Dean of Students and University Health Services. Karger said speaking to housing staff about meal plans and what her son would need for his room in Jester was particularly helpful.

“Family Orientation gave me the other side of the university that I didn’t know as a student. I feel like I need to give back and pay it forward,” noted Karger, whose son Brice is a junior civil engineering major.

Following Family Orientation, Karger joined the Texas Parents Association. During the beginning of Brice’s sophomore year, a medical condition forced him to leave school for two weeks. The Texas Parents staff provided support and guidance.

“Texas Parents helped me navigate the correct websites and get resources to help Brice get temporary accommodations. The association is our lifeline,” added Karger.

The Association has 10,500 members who have many benefits including access to a monthly newsletter, closed Facebook group, webinars on timely topics and other resources that help families support their students’ success at UT Austin.

“We assist parents and families who need help navigating university resources. Our goal is to help parents help their students. It’s very fulfilling when families like the Kargers reach out to us for help because that is why we are here,” said Susie Smith, director of Texas Parents.

Family Orientation takes place on the first day of UT Orientation for new students. Families can register for the following sessions:

• July 6 (Freshman Families) • July 11 (Freshman Families) • July 14 (Transfer Families) • August 17 (Freshman and Transfer Families)
