FGCU Parents and Families

Join us today for Soaring Through Service: How Service-Learning Builds Purpose, Connection, and Career Skills as part of the Eagle Family Flight Academy.

Families will learn why service learning is an important part of the FGCU experience, how it supports student growth and community connection, and what students need to know to complete this graduation requirement.

This session will go beyond the “who” and help families understand the how and why behind service learning, including how it can build purpose, leadership, and real-world skills.

March 25th-March 26th
24 hours to strengthen FGCU's impact

Support Parent & Family Engagement at FGCU
At Florida Gulf Coast University, student success is a shared journey, and families play a powerful role every step of the way. The Parent & Family Engagement program, part of Retention & Graduation Services, helps families stay informed, connected, and engaged as their students grow and thrive at FGCU. Your support strengthens the network that surrounds every Eagle, ensuring students feel supported not only on campus but at home as well.

Building Connection from Move-In to Graduation
Parent & Family Engagement creates meaningful opportunities for families to stay connected to the FGCU experience. Through thoughtful communication, events, and support initiatives, the program helps families understand the resources, opportunities, and milestones that shape their student’s journey.

Philanthropic support helps expand:
Family-focused communications that keep parents informed and engaged. Signature events like Eagle Family Weekend and future spring gatherings that bring families together on campus. Programs and resources that strengthen student well-being, belonging, and persistence. These initiatives help families remain confident partners in their student’s success.

Supporting Students When It Matters Most
Your generosity also helps create future opportunities for family-supported scholarships and student assistance, ensuring that financial challenges never stand in the way of persistence and graduation. When families feel connected and supported, students are more likely to stay engaged, overcome challenges, and reach the finish line.

Invest in the Community Behind Every Student
When you support Parent & Family Engagement at FGCU, you invest in the environment that supports student success—from the first day on campus to graduation. Together, we can strengthen the connections that help Eagles soar.
