Welcome to ASU! For families with students starting at ASU in Fall 2025, we are excited to host several live Welcome to the Family Chats from May to August 2025. These casual conversations are designed to connect you with representatives from your student’s college, the ASU Family community, and essential university resources. Hosted by upper-division families, these chats provide a supportive space for incoming families—including those of transfer students—to ask questions, share experiences, and connect with other families as you prepare for your student’s first semester at ASU.

Bring your coffee, tea, or favorite drink, and join us with your Sun Devil spirit for these relaxed, virtual family-to-family gatherings. Each session will feature a representative from your student’s college, a family host, and topics tailored to participant interests. Feel free to attend as many sessions as you’d like!

We look forward to helping you start your family’s ASU journey with the information and resources you need for a successful and exciting transition. If you have any questions, email ASU Family at asufamily@asu.edu.
