Welcome to ASU! For families with students starting ASU in the Fall 2025 semester, we will host several live Welcome to the Family Chats from May to August 2025. Join us for a casual conversation designed to connect you to the ASU Family community and university resources. Hosted by upper-division families, the Welcome to the Family Chat provides all incoming families (including those of Transfer students) the opportunity to ask questions, share experiences, and connect family-to-family in preparation for their student's first semester at ASU. Come with your coffee, latte or tea and bring your Sun Devil spirit to these casual, virtual family-to-family gatherings. You may attend as many sessions as you like as each will feature different hosts and topics based on participant interests.

We hope you will join us to begin your family's ASU experience with the information and tools you need for a successful start. If you have any questions, email ASU Family at asufamily@asu.edu.
