Parents & Family




Choosing a college is a big step in a student's life journey.  Sometimes it's a challenge to navigate the admissions process and the new experience of college life.

Our highly regarded academic programs and friendly campus create a supportive environment where your son or daughter can thrive and grow.

 We invite families to visit with their student and embark on the Washburn experience together.

Join the Washburn Community

Special visitation days for junior and senior high school students include programs specifically for parents. They cover important topics related to academic and social life, career results, campus safety, financial aid, and more.

Once your student is admitted to the university, you too become part of the Washburn community, too.  Enjoy the many cultural and athletics events on campus, and plan to join us for Homecoming and Family Day festivities.
