Initially, we depended on membership dues for all operational expenses. We are delighted to tell you that the program is now fully funded by the University. This means that every parent is a Cal parent, and there are no dues. Today the organization serves as a resource for families and a link between home and the University. Cal Parents staff and the statewide advisory board assist parents by publishing a parents' handbook annually and this newsletter three times a year.
Staff are available during regular office hours to answer telephone and e-mail help lines.
For some parents the best part of these events is connecting with other parents and hearing that we all have much in common. We encourage your participation in Cal Parents and its activities. We love to share Cal stories, so please introduce yourselves to us and our board members when you visit the campus. Copyright 2000 UC Regents. All rights reserved.
