Welcome Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Parents and Families

We know that parents and families are important partners on a student's academic journey. We're dedicated to keeping you informed and helping you find the answers and guidance you're looking for from your student's acceptance to their graduation and everything in between. 

To help you on this journey, we provide a single point of contact for parents and families. If you need assistance navigating Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ's many offices, please reach out to our Parent and Family Engagement team at eaglefamilies@american.edu.ÌýÌý

The Nest Network is a group of Ģ¹½ÊÓÆµÂ parent/family volunteers that supports student success and the University. The Network is designed to foster community, enhance engagement, and represent the interests of Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ families. Together, we create an environment in which families can connect, discover Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ, and contribute to the wellbeing of both students and families in partnership with the New Student and Family Programs team.
