Online Boilergram:
Although we were unable to offer our cookies and cards events during move-in, parents and families are encouraged to complete an online Boilergram. Boilergrams are an opportunity for parents and siblings to write a message of encouragement, life advice or give a big "Boiler UP!" to your Boilermaker. For 2020, Boilergrams will be emailed to students after the first week of classes. Want to send your own message? A list of on-campus mailing addresses can be found here.
