Student Orientation Advising and Registration Parent/Guest Program (SOAR)
Every summer 8,000+ family members of entering UW-Madison new students come to Madison to spend one to two days on campus learning about the educational experience their students are about to begin. While here, family members interact with current students, staff and faculty members, take a campus tour, and attend educational sessions.
Outcomes
Family members of new students experience one to two days on campus designed to educate, reassure, and build loyalty to UW-Madison.
