Parent Listserv

What is the Parent Listserv, you ask? It is how we, the University, communicate with our parent partners. This listserv is an email distribution list for us to update you on the campus community and various events that are pertinent to you. The parent newsletter, The Northwestern Parent Quarterly, is delivered once per quarter via the listserv. Join our conversation and the other 15,000 parents!
