OSUAA Parent and Family Council
Calling all proud Beaver parents and families
Do you want to be an active participant in your student’s success? If you have a current OSU student, we encourage you to apply for the Parent and Family Council!
What is it? The Parent and Family Council is a community of dedicated individuals who are actively engaged in their students' college experience. The council helps educate and connect parents to OSU and seeks to encourage families to support the university through volunteering, mentoring other families and philanthropic generosity.
Why join? It’d be easier to ask, “Why not?” But here are some key reasons to join:
- Meet and build strong connections with OSU administrators, parents and families through online meetings and special events for council members.
- Become more knowledgeable about university resources and programs that support student success.
- Deepen your connection to OSU by attending campus and regional events, volunteering and supporting initiatives that benefit current students.
Member opportunities:
- Attend quarterly council meetings via Zoom.
- Become a resource to expand mentoring and career opportunities for students.
- Sign up to volunteer at campus and regional events such as orientation, Black & Orange Days, Days of Service and Family Weekends.
- Engage with fellow parents, act as parent ambassadors for both prospective and admitted students in your area, advise OSU/OSUAA on key topics and areas of interest for current parents, and encourage other parents to get involved!
The Parent and Family Council is part of the OSU Alumni Association, which is a membership and dues-based organization. Council members are required to be OSUAA members. (Note: Attending or graduating from OSU is not required to join the OSUAA; learn more about membership and its benefits.)
