The Cornell Parents Committee

 

The mission of the Parents Committee:

  • To identify non-alumni parents of current Cornell undergraduates and to develop ways of bringing these parents closer to the University, and
  • To maintain interactions of the highest quality by emphasizing the diversity of the campus and the excellence of academic and support programs available to students.

Members Are Responsible for:

  • Speaking and meeting with parents of current and former students, helping them to connect to Cornell, and asking them to consider gifts to the University;
  • Helping identify parents in their area who have an interest in volunteering and/or the capacity to make a gift to Cornell;
  • Attending two to three Parents Fund Committee meetings annually, and
  • Hosting events for Cornell parents and, in some cases, students.

Committee Members serve as:

  • Ambassadors for Cornell within their own communities;
  • Friend raisers who host parent events in their homes;
  • Employers of graduating seniors;
  • Mentors who offer internships to students, and
  • Fundraisers, with an emphasis on annual gifts that will help sustain Cornell's excellence.
