About the Council

The Wake Forest Parents’ Council serves as a vehicle for parents of current students to communicate ideas, questions and concerns to the University through their Council representatives.  To contact a member of the Parents’ Council, email and the Office of Parent Programs will help field your question or direct your email to the appropriate Council member.

Parents’ Council members provide Wake Forest with direction by studying issues, offering guidance and acting as liaisons. Parents’ Council members also serve as ambassadors in their geographic area to prospective Wake Forest students.

The Wake Forest Parents’ Council is comprised of approximately eighty-five couples, representing the parents of over 4,500 undergraduates. The Council meets twice during the school year, once each semester. Terms are two years in length and are renewable. Members are selected based on their interest in and ability to help Wake Forest fulfill its mission.

Activities of the Parents’ Council

Meetings: The Parents’ Council meets twice during the academic year: during Family Weekend in the fall and again during a winter weekend.

First-Year Reach-Out Campaign: Parents’ Council members contact parents of the first-year class in the fall, giving new parents an opportunity to ask questions, voice concerns or provide feedback on their children’s experiences. Council members are asked to contact ten to fifteen families.

Parents’ Campaign of The Wake Forest Fund: Each Parents’ Council member is asked to make an annual contribution to the parents’ campaign of The Wake Forest Fund, Wake Forest’s annual unrestricted giving program. During the 2010-11 campaign, Parents’ Council members contributed $571,837; the total raised in the parents’ campaign was $2,008,934 from 2,692 current and past parent families.

During the spring semester, Parents’ Council members contact first-year parents, seeking their support of the parents’ campaign of The Wake Forest Fund.  If you are a parent and wish to make a gift, you may do so at our secure website (please indicate “The Parents’ Campaign” in the Gift Information section).
