Join the Parent Leadership Council

The Parent Leadership Council connects passionate parents and guardians and offers opportunities to drive change on Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s campus and beyond. Together, members strengthen the Â鶹ÊÓƵ community as partners through time, expertise, and philanthropy.

Through Change Can’t Wait: The Campaign for Â鶹ÊÓƵ, the council helps elevate the student experience, inspire research, and lead community-driven initiatives that help Â鶹ÊÓƵ prepare the next generation of leaders.

As Â鶹ÊÓƵ parents, council members are the university’s greatest advocates. They serve as regional ambassadors and student mentors, leverage professional relationships to facilitate internships and employment, and formally come together twice annually in support of enhancing the Â鶹ÊÓƵ experience. This philanthropic group is acknowledged as part of the President’s Circle, Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s recognition society for its most generous donors.

By joining this growing community of parent leaders, you demonstrate a commitment to your student’s success, a desire to advocate for and effect change, and exhibit confidence in Â鶹ÊÓƵ to prepare your student—and their peers—to impact the world as changemaking alumni.
