The Office of Parent and Family Programs has compiled thisFamily Handbook, which we hope will be a valuable resource that will both inform and guide your family as you prepare for the exciting changes ahead. The information it contains, including a comprehensive guide to our many campus services and resources, was determined by our staff and parent volunteers to be the most helpful to families of students embarking on their first year at Columbia. We recommend that you read through this guide, refer to it often, and keep it as a handy reference. In most cases, your student will be able to maneuver through his or her four years at Columbia with a great deal of self-reliance. However, should questions arise, the information found in this handbook will make it easy for you to point your student in the right direction. We encourage you to visit our Web site (www.studentaffairs.columbia.edu/parents) to learn more about Columbia and the Division of Student Affairs, as well as the many resources available to you and your student. Again, welcome to the Columbia family. Kevin G.
