Join us for the first fall Parent Talk Wednesday, Aug. 5, at 6 p.m. to learn how students and families can make the most of UNM Athletics, recreation activities and intramurals.

 Students have free transportation options, are admitted to some sporting events free and  can get involved in a variety of ways to make the most of their “Go Lobos!” experience.

UNM Recreational Services staff will be on hand to discuss benefits available at UNM’s main campus recreational hub, Johnson Center, which includes exciting “Getaway Adventures” and a vast array of intramurals.

Parent Talk is held the first Wednesday of each month from  6 – 7 p.m. in the Student Services Center (SSC), Dean of Students Conference Room (rm. 260), 2^nd floor. The series is sponsored by UNM’s Dean of Students’ Family Connection Program, Parent Relations Office and Parent Association and Extended University.

Students and extended family are welcome. Check‐in begins at 5:30 p.m. Parent Association members are on hand to visit with you about their experiences.

Parking is free in the “patient parking” on the north side of Mesa Vista Hall after 5 p.m. or for $1.75 per hour in the Cornell Parking Struture near Central and Cornell NE. To get to the Student Services Center (SSC) from the Cornell Parking Structure walk north on Cornell Mall. Pass by Popejoy Hall and the Student Union (SUB). At the SUB’s north end, go east to the SSC.

Spring semester 2009 is winding down with commencement exercises just around the corner. Is your student packing up and heading home? Ensure sons and daughters who have wheels get a vehicle inspection before making a long journey.
