Longwood University Parents Association
Longwood University recognizes that the success of its students is, in part, due to the support of parents, step-parents, grandparents, and other family members.
Longwood wishes to maintain strong and positive relations with parents of all Longwood students. To this end, Longwood University administration and parents have joined to form a Parents Association governed by a Parents Council.
