We would like to extend a special welcome to the new family association members who have recently joined for 2008-2009. We are excited to have you as a part of our extended JU Family. Also, thank you to those members who have renewed their annual membership for the 2008-2009 academic year. We are excited to have you with us again for another exciting year.  We have posted the schedule of events for 'Fins Family Gathering 2008 under the Latest & Greatest section along with a registration form for you to print and send back.  We look forward to seeing all of you in October for another great 'Fins Family Gathering.
 
FAMILY ASSOCIATION 101:
The Family Association is an organization created for the benefit of families of JU students.  It's mission is to increase communication and involvement between students’ families and the University to support the University’s efforts to provide students with an excellent, well-rounded education at Jacksonville University. We encourage all JU parents and families to join the family association and to renew membership each year to remain active and involved while your student is enrolled at JU. When you join, make sure to select any or all of our four volunteer service areas that interest you.  Whether you live near JU or outside of Jacksonville, we have many ways we look forward to having you involved with Jacksonville University.
