Parent & Family Services

Attending college is a big step for the student in your life. From submitting their application to preparing for graduation, you’re always there for them — and we’re always here for you. When your student comes to ASU-Beebe, you and your family become part of the Vanguard community, and we invite you to take advantage of the various events and programs designed only for the parents and families of ASU-Beebe students. By engaging in your student’s higher education career, your experience can and will be just as bountiful and fulfilling as your students.

We encourage parents and families to become your student’s #1 fan, supporting and cheering them on until they cross the graduation stage because we want what you want–your student’s success!

Starting in 2020 as Family Appreciation Day, Family Week is ASU-Beebe's newest campus tradition. Each year, ASU-Beebe dedicates a week to celebrating and showing appreciation for the many families of ASU-Beebe that work hard to support their students throughout the year.  

The week of events includes a free in-person concert and several activities the entire family can participate in, whether your student is living at home or on campus (including social media bingo and a family game night).

Family Week Concert

To officially celebrate and show appreciation for the many families of ASU-Beebe that work hard to support their students throughout the year, the Office of Student Life and the Lecture-Concert Series is teaming up to host a free in-person concert.

In addition to the free concert, Lecture-Concert Series and Student Life partnered with Great Western Dining, Inc. during ASU-Beebe Family Week to provide free food to the first 300 concert attendees.  

Family Week Social Media Bingo

In addition to engaging with the college, Virtual Family Appreciation Week is also about families engaging with their students. Families can plan to engage with their student during Virtual Family Appreciation Week by playing our social media bingo game. The Office of Student Life has supplied families with a Family Week Social Media Bingo Card (linked below). Families are encouraged to take pictures of themselves completing each task with their student and posting the picture on their social media using the hashtag #ASUBFamily. Tasks include video chatting with their student away from home, cooking a meal with their student, helping their student study, taking a family picture with ASUB merchandise, etc. Throughout Family Appreciation Week, photos posted with the hashtag will be highlighted by ASU-Beebe's social media accounts.
