Parents Council
The College of Liberal Arts Parents Council is a vital part of the College’s success. The Council promotes the recognition, well-being, progress, and success of the College of Liberal Arts at The University of Texas at Austin by assisting the Dean, Development Team, and College faculty and administrators in securing philanthropic support for the College’s students, faculty, and programs, as well as championing College strategies and priorities by providing strong leadership and guidance.
The Council will achieve its purpose through a membership of individuals whose leadership and accomplishments bring credit to the College and who individually and collectively:
- Engage with College leadership, faculty, staff, students, alumni, and friends to broaden knowledge, understand university/college procedures, and to be an informed ambassador to their communities.
- Inform College leadership of personal anecdotes, experiences, current trends, events, potential connections, and issues that may influence, enhance, and guide the good work of the College.
- Promote College priorities, accomplishments, and future plans and needs among their communities and across the state, nation, and beyond.
- Encourage private philanthropy as a means to enhance public support to enact the Dean’s vision and fulfill the College’s mission.
