Sibling Syllabus


The transition to college is a significant milestone not only for students and parents, but for siblings as well. As your Jayhawk begins this exciting new chapter, family relationships may evolve as everyone adjusts to new routines, responsibilities, and ways of staying connected. While life may look a little different, the bond between siblings remains an important source of support, encouragement, and connection.

The Sibling Syllabus is designed to provide siblings with interactive activities, conversation starters, and opportunities to stay engaged throughout the academic year. These activities are intended to help your Jayhawk and their siblings maintain meaningful connections, celebrate milestones, and create new traditions, even when separated by distance.

By using the activities in this guide, families can foster stronger sibling relationships, encourage communication, and ensure that siblings continue to play an important role in one another's lives throughout the college journey.
