Nighthawk Engagement and Student Transitions (NEST) recognizes and appreciates the vital role parents, families, and other supporters play in their student’s success at the University of North Georgia. Serving as a centralized resource, NEST strives to equip parents, families, and other supporters with the knowledge of university resources and services and provide experiences to strengthen their relationship with their student as a partner within their educational journey and experience.
The UNG Family Network is designed to provide the information you need when you need it. This resource will help current and future University of North Georgia families stay engaged and focused on what matters most: your student's success.
Family members and guests of incoming students play an important role in their student's transition to UNG. We recognize the support you need as well, so we have designed a self-paced online Parent and Family Orientation to meet your specific needs and concerns.
Parent and Family Orientation is a great way for family members to gain additional knowledge about resources and services offered at the university. This program runs concurrent to student orientation. Your student will need to complete their orientation reservation first, so you know which date and program type to select.
Nighthawk Talks is a streaming series providing UNG families information about different university resources, departments, and services. Nighthawk Talks streams on the Nighthawk Engagement and Student Transitions (NEST) Facebook page, where you can also find the schedule.
Family Day is an annual event where students can share their UNG experiences with their families and guests.

2023 dates and event details will be updated when they become available.
The UNG Parent and Family Advisory Council provides feedback on parent and family programs and experiences, communicates with parents and families, serves as a liaison between parents, families, and the University, volunteers at UNG events, and assists the University in its outreach efforts. More information coming Spring 2023!
