Join the Parent Leadership Council

The Parent Leadership Council connects passionate parents and guardians and offers opportunities to drive change on Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµâ€™s campus and beyond. Together, members strengthen the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ community as partners through time, expertise, and philanthropy.

Through Change Can’t Wait: The Campaign for Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ, the council helps elevate the student experience, inspire research, and lead community-driven initiatives that help Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ prepare the next generation of leaders.

As Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ 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 Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ experience. This philanthropic group is acknowledged as part of the President’s Circle, Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµâ€™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 Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ to prepare your student—and their peers—to impact the world as changemaking alumni.
