The mission of the Cumberland University Parents Association is to promote parent and student engagement and inclusivity at all levels of collegiate life through the active support, outreach, and recognition of parents, students, alumni and the university.

The Cumberland University Parents Association is an active and supportive parent community. You can connect with fellow parents of CU students, get involved around CU and find lots of support to help you navigate college life parenthood. Your membership to CUPA can make a difference in your student’s college experience.

CUPA is actively involved at CU. As a parent, you play an important role in the lives of CU students. We want to keep in touch and keep you informed. Email is our primary means of communicating with parents and families. Please consider registering your email below to receive important CUPA updates, special invitations, event communication and more.

We appreciate all the parent volunteers who help CUPA support CU and all our students.
