Welcome Bronco Families!


Parent and Family Updates

 

July 6, 2008 - Documents and presentations from the BroncoVenture Family Orientation program are now available online.  You can view them by clicking here.

 

Parent and Family Orientation

 

BroncoVenture also includes two days of sessions for families. Students are not the only ones experiencing transition. BroncoVenture family programming is geared to help you and your student succeed. Families will be introduced to student services, discussions on academic advising, campus safety, funding and financing an education, and how to respond to specific student concerns you are likely to encounter over the year. Tap into Boise State’s dedicated and knowledgeable staff as they detail exciting opportunities for families to be involved in their student’s education.
