Parent Association
All parents are encouraged to be an active participant in their student's education. Campus news, information and updates are distributed to parents through the Parent NewsFlash email newsletter. You can click here to view past editions of the Parent NewsFlash email. Additionally, information about campus emergencies is sent through a Parent Notification listserv. Both the Parent NewsFlash and parent notifications are sent to each parent with an email address on file. To add your address, email parent@butler.edu or call (800) 368-6852, ext. 9946.
As a new or returning parent you may have questions about Butler. Visit our new Parent FAQ page for answers to your questions about many different department across campus.
Parents of every Butler student automatically become members of the Parent Association. Through this organization, parents are invited to share and support their student's university experience in three primary areas:
- By serving on the Parent Council, the governing body of the Parent Association.
- Through the student mentoring. For more information on how you can get involved with student mentoring, please contact the Internship and Career Services.
- By supporting the Parent Fund. Tuition simply doesn’t cover the cost of educating each Butler student — the University relies on annual support through unrestricted gifts to The Parent Fund. The Parent Fund is an important component of the annual giving program. Gifts from current and past parents support numerous activities and areas on campus such as the Visiting Writers Series, laboratory equipment, business community outreach programs and Internet connections in each dorm room. Butler offers a wide variety of ways to give, and parents give at all levels. Click here for more information or to make a gift.
