Parents have always played vital roles in their sons' and daughters' experiences at Villanova. The Parents Program was formed to more fully engage parents tin campus life,  and to help administrators work collaboratively with parents to bring additional resources to the University. Below are just a few of the opportunities for parents to continue to participate in their children's education and help shape their Villanova experience.
