Family Orientation Logo

The Daemen University community prides itself in helping our first-year students become successful academically, emotionally, personally, and socially. Daemen University is a place for students to make new friends, develop new skills, and learn about themselves and the world. Parents/guardians need to be aware that their students are making many new transitions at this time in their life.

To help with this transition we would like to invite all parents/guardians of incoming first-year students to our Family Orientation being held August 30, 2024.

The Orientation is open to all parents and guardians and we hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to learn about the services Daemen offers, where to go when you have questions, and how to address concerns your student may have during their first year.
