About the Parents’ 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 parentscouncil@wfu.edu and the Office of Family Engagement 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, acting as liaisons, and leading the Parents’ Campaign of the Wake Forest Fund. Parents’ Council members also serve as ambassadors in their geographic area to prospective Wake Forest students.
The Parents’ Council is an advisory group of about 200 families of undergraduate students, representing the parents of 5,400 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.
Parents’ Campaign of The Wake Forest Fund
The Parents’ Campaign of The Wake Forest Fund is the primary philanthropic priority of the Parents’ Council. During the 2024-2025 campaign, of the $7.4 million raised by the Parents’ Campaign, Parents’ Council members contributed $3.5 million – nearly half!
Throughout the academic year, the Parents’ Campaign Chairs send messages to parents and families, seeking their support of the parents’ campaign of The Wake Forest Fund.
Ambassadors for Wake Forest
Parents’ Council families serve as ambassadors for Wake Forest in their home communities. Many of our New Student Receptions are hosted or co-hosted by Parents’ Council families, as are various other events throughout each year. We welcome all kinds of involvement from our members – some common examples are:
- Supporting internships and job placement
- Hosting / Co-Hosting Wake Forest events
- Serving as a resource to other Wake Forest families
- Connecting the University with their networks to provide unique experiences to Wake Foresters in their home community
