Parents Leadership Council

The Parents Leadership Council, led by Jeanne Knox, acts as the advisory and advocacy arm of the Parents Program. The council meets twice a year on campus to represent the parent voice on important issues, advise the Parents Program on its activities and goals, and interact with key administrators.

Each council member is actively involved in outreach and fundraising efforts. Members provides the University with leadership, parental perspective, and financial support at the leadership level. Each year, the council strives to better the academic and social experience of every student at Boston University through the individual and collective outreach and fundraising efforts.
