Parents and family are an integral part of the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences community and you play an important role in the success of your student. We are a student-centric college and our goal is to offer the education and college experiences that can lead to a productive career for your son or daughter after graduation. The University Park campus is a large campus and we strive to create a sense of community that gives our students a home-away-from-home.
