Franklin Family Association

The Franklin Family Association (FFA) was founded in 2009 by a group of current Franklin parents who were interested in becoming actively involved in the life of Franklin and its students. The mission of the Franklin Family Association is to “involve Franklin parents and guardians in programs and activities to enrich the lives of their students as well as contribute to the overall well-being of the University”.

FFA MEMBERS

The FFA is currently comprised of dedicated parents and family members. FFA Members are invited to join a bi-monthly conference call or webinar with the Director of Alumni and Parent Relations and other members of the Franklin staff to get updates about new and exciting things going on at the University, discuss challenges and solutions of having students studying overseas and participate in initiatives designed to help students in meeting their greater career and professional goals. For more information or to join, please email the Director of Alumni and Parent Relations.

The Franklin University Switzerland community extends well beyond graduation. Each year a graduating class leaves the Franklin campus and the beautiful surroundings of the Ticino region. While those students may no longer be here on campus, we hope they remain active and involved in the future of the school. Involvement can be through sharing of their natural gifts or through philanthropic support.
