Parent and Family Experience

As current Gordon parents ourselves, Jennifer and I are excited for the partnership that your family has formed with Gordon College. We have experienced firsthand that Gordon College is committed to challenging our students with academics to build a career, experiences to build confidence and a Christian community that builds character. Generations of families have joined the Gordon community, and we are so grateful that yours has, as well. We are here to provide resources as you encourage your student to thrive during their college years and flourish in their life beyond. God is at work at Gordon College and in the life of your student.

It is a privilege and joy for our family to be on this journey with your family!

President Mike Hammond

Our team is here to serve you, the parents, guardians and families of Gordon College students. Our goal is to strengthen the connection between the college and families, ensuring you are informed, involved, and invested in your student's academic and personal growth.

Welcome Parents
As cheerleaders, advocates, prayer warriors, and mentors, parents are integral members of our community. We understand the Gordon experience is a family affair, so stay connected through prayer, support, events and parent resources!

Parent Advisory Council

The Gordon College Parent Advisory Council (PAC) exists to support the mission of Gordon College and to strengthen communication and connection between parents and the College. Collaboration between the PAC and the College will enrich and enhance students’ education and experience at Gordon, while providing information and advice about parent questions and concerns to College administrators. PAC members set a leadership example through philanthropic support and advocacy of Gordon’s mission.

There is much happening on campus that we welcome you to participate in or encourage your student to attend. Gordon's master calendar provides a comprehensive list of events happening on campus.

Get Involved

PRAY
Above all else, we invite the Lord into every aspect of your student’s experience at Gordon. From the classroom to the dining hall, from the athletic fields to the music and art studios—in every corner of campus, our desire is for God-breathed experiences in everything your son or daughter participates in. We will keep you informed of opportunities to pray for specific campus needs from your home or on campus at our monthly Parents and Friends prayer gathering.

GIVE
It is because of the generosity of so many members of the Gordon community that our students with financial need are able to make Gordon a reality. We welcome parents to join in the family of supporters who make scholarships possible for so many deserving students. Throughout the year, you will receive news of opportunities to participate. We invite you to read these stories and respond as you are able. 

VOLUNTEER
Here at Gordon, we are blessed with an outstanding parent community, exceptional students, and thousands of alumni following God’s call. We welcome parents to be part of our marquee events that bring these communities together. Orientation, Homecoming and Family Weekend, and Commencement are just a few of the opportunities each year for parents to serve as volunteers while experiencing the joy and excitement of these milestone events. 

ADVOCATE
Spread the word among your families, friends, and churches about the transformative experience your student is enjoying here at Gordon. You are our best marketers for the value of a Gordon education. We welcome parents to join us on a variety of occasions throughout the year where there are opportunities to speak with parents whose sons or daughters are considering Gordon.
