The Blue Jay Family Connection, gives you the ability to customize your experience. Whether you’re interested in academic resources for your student, campus events, or important deadlines, you can curate your preferences to receive information that matters most to you and your family.
We now use the Blue Jay Connection exclusively to share newsletters and information for our families. Follow this link to sign up or add additional users: The Blue Jay Family Connection
