Below are suggestions on how to stay in touch with your Concordia student and how to be involved.
From Mom with Love (Care Packages and Letters)
Send your child a card, a letter, or a care package. Each student living on campus has a box number assigned to them. To avoid delays or problems with delivery, mail you send to your student should have a complete name & a box number in this format:
Student's Full Name
7400 Augusta Street
#(Box number)
River Forest, IL 60305
Attend Family Weekend
Consider attending Family Weekend. It’s a special time devoted specifically for families to get together after the beginning of the school year.
Get Involved
Concordia welcomes parental involvement! Parents of Concordia students can register as members of the Concordia University Parents Association and stay connected to their student and campus activities. Besides enjoying member benefits, parents who join will be encouraged to participate in several volunteer opportunities.
Consider joining the Concordia University Auxiliary. During the year they implement several projects and use the profits from those projects to present scholarships to students attending Concordia University Chicago. To join the Concordia University Auxiliary, please download a membership application.
Celebrate their Special Days
The Concordia University Auxiliary provides a special way to remember your student's birthday or achievements. Cakes, cupcakes, and cookies are all available for special order with at least two weeks advance notice and cannot be delivered on Saturdays, Sundays, or during vacation break days.
Funds from your order will support our Student Scholarship Fund.

Make Time to Talk/Chat Online
Consider making a special time each week to talk on the phone or chat online about their recent experiences. Each resident student has voice mail in their residence hall rooms and has been provided with a university e-mail address. Find a way to connect that works for both you and your student.
