Fayetteville State University Bronco Family Programs provides support and resources for current and future Bronco students’ parents and families. While we encourage students of FSU to fully immerse themselves in our campus environment, we also encourage students’ families to embrace our call to action to be “All in.”
Bronco Family Programs is an initiative to integrate individuals who support the academic journey of FSU students from all spectrums. At Fayetteville State University, we believe that family matters. Our mission is to create clear pathways for students to connect to their loved ones during their time at FSU.
Bronco Family Programs is sponsored by the Division of Student Affairs at Fayetteville State University. Our goals are:
- To support parents and families as their students navigate the FSU campus.
- To increase student retention and persistence by providing resources and sessions that will equip parents and family members to be a critical resource for their students.
- To encourage active participation in the success of their FSU students.
- To provide a pathway for parents and families to reconnect and spend time with their FSU students.
Bronco Family Programs hosts engaging events, programs, and services — both virtual and in person — that showcase the wealth of resources Fayetteville State University offers to ensure the success of every Bronco. Our premiere Parent & Family Webinar Series offers online informational events where FSU families learn practical ways to support their students during the academic year, led by Fayetteville State faculty and staff.
