The Parents Association sponsors a variety of campus programs for parents and students, underwrites informative publications and a website. The Association is also involved in raising and distributing funds for projects that directly support students and the University community.The Parents Association is led by the Parents Council. The Council is an active and involved group about 30 parents who meet on 4 Saturdays during the academic year. The regularly scheduled Council meetings include guest speakers from the University administration and time to discuss ideas and work on projects that enhance and promote parent, student and university communications and involvement. These meetings are informative, lively and fun. We invite you to become a member of this dynamic working group.
