The Partnership of Parents – People Just Like You – Proud Parent Volunteers
The Parents & Family Association –
Enhancing Student Opportunities
“We’re involved with the Parents and Family Association because we
know The University of Arizona is key in educating our youth, advanc-
ing science and technology, enriching the arts and our culture, and
providing a strong framework for economic growth in Arizona and
nationally. Because of our interest in the merits of public affairs, our col-
laboration with the Parents and Family Association creates an effective
platform for communicating with our elected representatives. This is
essential to advance important UA initiatives, while strengthening aca-
demic and economic opportunities for all of Arizona. We are proud of
what we, as parents, can collectively make possible through the Parents
and Family Association.”
In 2008-2009, the collective partnership of the Parents & Family
Association touched over 37,000 students’ lives by enhancing
student safety, leadership programs, career services and
faculty interaction/mentoring programs.

who are feeling stressed, dealing with a
1.800.792.4885
traumatic event or in need of safety infor-
mation and advice, Student Advocate Erin
Good is here to help.
Good joined the Dean of Students of-
fice in September 2009 and her main task
will be working with students who have
undergone a traumatic event or crisis,
connecting them with the resources and
support they need to remain academically
successful. While she will mainly work with
students, Good is here to support parents
as well.
“I have already worked with several
parents on issues related to student injury
and hospitalization, financial concerns
and general health and wellness checks.
For example, one parent had not heard
from her son in a few weeks and so she
requested that I check in with him,” Good
said. “As it turned out, the student was just
busy with coursework and a part-time job,
and the parent felt much better knowing he
was safe.”
Good spent the last five years work-
ing in the areas of victim advocacy and
violence prevention, most recently as
a violence prevention specialist for the
Oasis Program for Sexual Assault and
Relationship Violence. Prior to working
for Oasis, she spent two years as a victim
advocate for the Pima County Attorney’s
Office Victim Witness Program, where she
participated in developing Pima County’s
specialized Domestic Violence Court.
“I look forward to supporting parents,
families and students in my role here at the
UA,” Good said.
For Casares, both the Safe Cats program
and the acquisition of Good will help the
Dean of Students Office in its ultimate goal
– creating a safe campus culture.
“With the largest freshmen class at the
U of A, it is absolutely imperative the Dean
of Students Office creates and enhances
new ways to meet the changing needs of
students and parents, and we are commit-
ted to doing just that,” he said.
