Advisory Council

The Family Association operates in conjunction with the university’s overall mission through the Parent & Family Advisory Council. The main purpose of the Advisory Council is to provide advice about the direction of the university in the areas of communication and events for parents and family members, as well as Family Association membership participation and value. The Advisory Council consists of up to 20 members. Married couples may serve as a unit, as applicable.

The Role of an Advisor

• Serves as a voice for all Bobcat families.
• Provides feedback from the member's region, profession, or affiliation.
• Encourages new members of the university community to participate in university activities and join the Family Association.
• Advisory Council members are expected to attend one regular meeting in the fall and one regular meeting in the spring. It is also expected that Advisory Council members will attend one special planning meeting during the summer. Meetings will be planned by the Assistant Director of Parent & Family Relations.
