Parents and Families Association

Welcome from Dean Mays

It is with great excitement that I welcome you to the new web-page for parents and family members of Lesley University students. As the Dean of Student Life, I hope you find the information found in the pages that follow helpful and informative. Our goal is to provide you with up-to-date information that will help you navigate your way around the University and feel more connected to the people who provide support and services to your student.

As this is a new initiative for us and you, I hope you will not feel shy about letting us know if there are ways that we might best serve you. The more communication that we have from you, the better able we are to include information in the web-page that you feel important. Especially important in the web-page will be a calendar of important dates. Please take note of deadlines and end dates, as they often can help you in your planning for travel and meeting time-sensitive deadlines.

We have included links to the several offices and departments that make up the Division of Student Life and Academic Development (Athletics, Center for Academic Achievement, Career Resource Center, Counseling Center, and Disability Services for Student, International Student Services, Multicultural Student Services, Student Activities, Student Health Insurance, and Student Health Services). I invite you to read through the pages so that you are familiar with the offices and their services.

Again, welcome. I am delighted that we will have a more direct way of communicating with you.

Sincerely,

Nathaniel G. Mays, Ph.D.
Dean of Student Life and Academic Development
