Parent & Family Association: Call for membership renewals!

Maverick Parents and Families,   

 

Thank you for being a part of the Maverick Parent & Family Association!  You have helped create a growing network of UT Arlington families who take an active role in their students' education. We appreciate your willingness to partner with the University and value the support you provide to UT Arlington and your student.

 

As this membership year comes to an end, we would like to invite you to renew your membership in the Association. By renewing, you will continue to receive benefits including discounts at over 100 local merchants, free Scantrons and blue books for your student, 10% off on apparel and gifts at the bookstore, and student scholarship opportunities. Starting this year, we will also have two monthly e-newsletters: one for parents of freshman students and one for parents of upperclassman students. By providing two newsletters, we can ensure you are receiving the most pertinent information for your student.

 

To show our appreciation, we are also providing each renewed membership with one free registration to Parent and Family Weekend, which will be held October 26-28, 2012. This registration is a $30 value and includes breakfast, dinner, activities, and a t-shirt.

  

If you would like to renew your membership, please click here and fill out the electronic form on or before Aug. 31, 2012. Once you renew your membership, please send an email to parents@uta.edu stating that you would like to take advantage of your free Weekend registration.

 

Again, we would like to thank you for your membership in the Maverick Parent & Family Association. Because of the increasing interest and participation in the Association, we will be able to offer our members even more in the future. Look for new benefits, involvement opportunities, and much more to come!
