Welcome

Carolina Parents Council

The Parents Council is your direct link to University committees and administrators.

Our Carolina Family benefits from the energy and commitment of the dedicated parents who form the Carolina Parents Council. The Council advises the Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs on student needs and issues. In turn, the Vice Chancellor relies on the Council to incorporate parents’ perspective on campus and student life issues.

Representatives from each of the four undergraduate classes form the Parents Council. The Council specifically focuses on parent/student issues in order to enhance the undergraduate experience.

Current priorities include:

  • Family Weekend
  • Fraternity & Sorority Life
  • Parents Clubs
  • Parents Communication & Orientation
  • Student Programs
  • Undergraduate Academics

Council members support the Parents Council Grant Fund with personal gifts. Combined with donations made to the Parent Fund, these gifts directly benefit the academic and extracurricular lives of Carolina students.

Past recipients of Council grants include Career Services, the Library, Learning Center, Fall Fest, the Carolina Union Performing Arts Program, Carolina Outdoor Adventures, Student Health Services, Center for Healthy Student Behaviors, Campus Y, Study Abroad, the Office of Undergraduate Research, the Writing Center, the Department of Housing & Residential Education, and more.

Please feel free to contact any of the members of the Parents Council Executive Committee listed below or a Council member in your regional area to voice your suggestions and/or concerns regarding your student’s Carolina experience.
