Parent Council

EMU parent council assists parents and the university in making EMU an enriching experience for you and your son or daughter. Parent Council members meet three times a year, once in the fall and twice in spring.

Parent Council Goals

• provide opportunities for parents to counsel and advise the university on academic, social, religious and financial issues
• create a support group for parents
• cultivate communication between parents and faculty and administration

Parent council members welcome hearing from other parents. Please let us know if we can be of assistance.
