Wolf Pack Welcome Parent & Family Programming

While Wolf Pack Welcome for students takes place August 13–16, 2026, the Parent & Family Track is scheduled for August 13–14. Parents and family members are invited to participate in programming during the first two days, while students will continue with additional required Wolf Pack Welcome activities through August 16.  Through the Parent & Family Track, you will have opportunities to learn about campus resources, meet Loyola administrators and other families, and discover ways to support your student's success throughout their college journey.
