Family Contact and Communications Form

Welcome to Brown!

As a parent of a Brown student, you are an integral part of the Brown community as well as an important touchstone in your student’s life. We invite you to get involved in a number of ways and to learn about the unique academic community that is Brown. Please fill out this form so that we have the most accurate information to send you the Brown Alumni Magazine, invitations to regional events and programs, information about University initiatives and opportunities to provide financial support to the Brown community.

In addition, please ensure that your student updates your parent information — including address, phone number(s) and email — in their online record in the Banner Student Information System. This information is used as an emergency contact as well as for other University communications and must be updated directly by your student.

Below are two of the ways you can get involved in philanthropic support of Brown as a parent:

The Parents Leadership Council is a philanthropic group of volunteers who enjoy connecting with other Brown parents. Council members both give and ask for leadership gifts for The Parents Fund, which provides student and faculty support. Please contact Alison Kiely at alison_kiely@brown.edu or (401) 863-9561 for more information.

If your student is an athlete and you would be interested in learning more about how you can help the Brown University Sports Foundation through philanthropic support or by becoming a volunteer for the Parents Sport Associations Council, please contact Matthew Altum matthew_altum@brown.edu or (401) 863-9674.

Thank you! We look forward to greeting you on campus.
