Parent Council
The Parent Council is an excellent way to stay involved with
Butler University and represent Butler in your community during
your student's undergraduate career. Members of the Parent Council
come from various backgrounds and regions and are extremely
important as they serve as the voice of parents of current Butler
students.
The Parent Council consists of a membership of 40
parents/families. The 40 members represent all four undergraduate
classes. Members can serve for the entire duration of their Butler
student's undergraduate career.
Parent Council members are expected to:
- Attend two meetings per year.
- Volunteer as a representative of the Parent Council.
- Make an annual contribution to Butler University (amount at
your discretion).
The meetings for the 2011-2012 school year are currently
scheduled for Friday, Nov. 4, 2011 and Friday, April 13,
2012.
Volunteer opportunities for Parent Council members include admissions recruiting, helping at Welcome
Week, speaking with prospective/new parents, student mentoring, and
assisting with regional events.
