The Â鶹´«Ã½ Family Advisory Council (NUFAC) fosters student success and enhances the campus community by actively engaging the parents and families of undergraduate students in providing feedback, support, and counsel throughout the academic year to the Offices of the Dean of Students and Family Engagement.
Goals
The goals of the Family Advisory Council are to:
- Provide feedback regarding University planning for new and existing initiatives.
- Serve as Â鶹´«Ã½ ambassadors for the parents and family members of undergraduate students.
- Establish an ongoing forum for building and maintaining a strong bond with the University.
Â鶹´«Ã½ the Council
NUFAC brings together dedicated parent and family volunteers who serve as ambassadors for Â鶹´«Ã½ and provide feedback to the Office of the Dean of Students and the area of Family Engagement on issues of particular interest to parents and families. NUFAC meets in person two times each year (Fall Quarter during Family Weekend & Spring Quarter) and one time virtually during Winter Quarter to discuss current topics affecting the University and its constituents, offer feedback regarding programming, and participate in broadening and deepening relationships in support of the University. While expected to attend all meetings, NUFAC members must attend at least one meeting in person per year.
NUFAC is comprised of approximately 25 parent and family members of current undergraduate students representing a diverse spectrum of students’ degree programs, academic/class standing and family backgrounds and experiences. Appointed members will remain part of NUFAC until their student’s graduation from Â鶹´«Ã½ or until the NUFAC member and/or the Dean of Students Office deems it necessary for the member to step down. Vacancies will be filled as they become available.
Compensation
Costs associated with meals and materials for the bi-annual meetings are included. Generally, individual travel and lodging are not reimbursed; however, support may be available based on need.
Join the Council
The NUFAC application for Parents and Families of the Class of 2029 and 2025 Transfer students will open in June. Please note that representatives for the Classes of 2028, 2027 and 2026 were selected before the start of their student's first year so we will only be accepting applications for the class of 2029 and 2025 Transfer students. We hope you’ll consider applying!
