Considering the collectivist culture and strong family connections in Latinx families, engaging parents and family members of new Latinx students in higher education is important to promote students' persistence and completion of their degrees. Parent and family member orientation (PFMO) programs offered in Spanish provide a bridge between students' families and the institution. This study focused on the perspectives related to involvement and sense of belonging following participation in a Spanish language PFMO program.
