Parent Advisory Council
Looking
for a way to get involved with Indiana State and meet new people?
Consider becoming a part of the Parent Advisory Council!
The Parent Advisory Council consists of six to eight parent volunteers who serve as advocates and ambassadors for all parents and family members of undergraduate students at Indiana State University. Parent Advisory Council members seek feedback from other parents and families and encourage parental and family involvement with the University.
Members are encouraged to share their personal experiences so Indiana State can constantly improve the parent and family experience for all members of the ISU community.
Expectations
Parent Advisory Council volunteers:
• Meet three times a year to discuss issues and learn more about University developments affecting students, parents, and families.
• Assist in planning programs and events to involve parents and families in University life.
• Serve as hosts for parents during Scholarship Interview Weekend, Experience ISU, and New Student Orientation programs.
• Serve as volunteers during Move-In and Family Day.
Parent Advisory Council volunteers are encouraged to also work as admission volunteers in their home communities by making follow-up phone calls to incoming students and families or as Career Center volunteers by steering potential employers to help provide ISU students with internships, summer and full-time employment, and career advice.
Council members are encouraged to reach out and connect with Indiana State parents through campus activities and involvement in their home communities.
Tenure
Parent Advisory Council volunteers will be assigned one, two, and three-year terms based on interest and availability.
