Hello Parents, Family Members, and Supporters of our SCU Students!
Welcome to the end of the academic year! Today marks your student's last day of classes, with only finals left before summer vacation. They've made it! For those with students graduating next Saturday, congratulations to you and your family for supporting your students throughout their college journey.
This will be my final email to you all for this academic year. Thank you for being part of our extended Bronco community and warmly welcoming me into this role. To help me continuously improve and meet the needs of our families, please take a moment to fill out this brief survey. It's only 4 questions!

If your student is returning home for the first time, remember they have experienced new things, may have different perspectives on certain topics, and are not the same person you left at Santa Clara in the Fall. Take some time to learn about their journey and experiences. Ask them about their favorite parts of the year. Here are some great conversation starters to learn more about your student's time at SCU:
- What did you do for fun?
- What have you explored in the Bay Area?
- What are some of your study habits?
- What jobs or internships are you interested in trying?
- Have you found your group on campus?
- In what ways do you feel like you are thriving in college? How can I support your wellness?
- How are you staying connected to friends this summer?
I hope you have a wonderful summer, and I look forward to reconnecting with you as the Fall Quarter approaches. If you have any questions about Santa Clara in the meantime, please feel free to email me at sponce@scu.edu.
Cheers!
