Join the Parent Leadership Council

The Parent Leadership Council connects passionate parents and guardians and offers opportunities to drive change on º£½Ç»»ÆÞ’s campus and beyond. Together, members strengthen the º£½Ç»»ÆÞ community as partners through time, expertise, and philanthropy.

Through Change Can’t Wait: The Campaign for º£½Ç»»ÆÞ, the council helps elevate the student experience, inspire research, and lead community-driven initiatives that help º£½Ç»»ÆÞ prepare the next generation of leaders.

As º£½Ç»»ÆÞ 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 º£½Ç»»ÆÞ experience. This philanthropic group is acknowledged as part of the President’s Circle, º£½Ç»»ÆÞ’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 º£½Ç»»ÆÞ to prepare your student—and their peers—to impact the world as changemaking alumni.
