Family Gatherings  

We have four family gatherings annually, including:

Educational Resources

Parents are welcome to drop in on a course or lecture when they are in town. We also post recent lectures and articles of interest to parents on the resources section of the site. These materials are available for download free of charge. To keep up with Center events, parents receive monthly parent program emails during the academic year and a quarterly newsletter in the mail.

Prospective UVa. Families

The Center’s staff regularly meets with prospective and incoming U.Va. students and their families (thank you alumni and parents, for your steady referrals!). We enjoy introducing families to our building as well as to Christian faculty and our Grounds ministry partners.
