Parent Association

The Bridgewater State University Parent Association was organized to support the programs, activities and mission of BSU by developing an informed parent constituency and enhancing communication between the university and the parents of BSU students. All BSU parents are automatically members of the parent association. 

The Parent Association meets twice each semester during the academic year. In attendance at all meetings are Parent Ambassadors who play an important role in supporting the parent relations mission. Past meetings featured guest speakers from the university who provided information about university resources and services including academic and co-curricular programs and other opportunities available to students. Our on-campus dinner meetings provide the chance to voice concerns and ideas and to learn what is happening at the University. Please consider joining us. We welcome your participation and support!
