Parent and Family Leadership Council

The Parent and Family Leadership Council is a select group of parents of undergraduate students representing a diverse group both geographically and professionally. Members serve as ambassadors to the Wave parent community and provide volunteer and philanthropic support for students at Seaver College. Through meetings and activities, members explore undergraduate initiatives and share this information with the broader parent committee. To learn more please visit the Parents and Family Council page or email us. 

Activities

Parent Council Meetings

Our leadership council convenes at the Malibu campus in the fall and spring. Meetings provide members with the opportunity to meet other parents from across the nation and to give their feedback on current parent issues and activities, and to learn about ongoing initiatives at Seaver College from faculty, senior administrators, and the dean.

Our next annual meeting will be held during Waves Weekend at the Malibu campus on Friday, October 11, 2019, from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM. Lunch will be provided.
