The Wake Forest Parents' Council serves as a vehicle for parents of current students to communicate ideas, questions, and concerns to the University through their Council representatives.
Parents' Council members provide Wake Forest with direction by studying issues, offering guidance, and acting as liaisons. Parents' Council members also serve as ambassadors in their geographic area to prospective Wake Forest students.
The Wake Forest Parents' Council is comprised of approximately eighty-five couples, representing the parents of over 3,500 undergraduates. The Council meets twice during the school year, once each semester. Terms are two years in length and are renewable. Members are selected based on their interest in and ability to help Wake Forest fulfill its mission.

Meetings: The Parents' Council meets twice during the academic year, during Family Weekend in the fall and again during a winter weekend.
Freshman Reach-Out Campaign: Parents' Council members contact parents of the freshman class in the fall, giving new parents an opportunity to ask questions, voice concerns, or provide feedback on their children's experiences. Council members are asked to contact ten to fifteen families.
Early Admit Reach-Out Program: Members of the Executive Committee of the Parents' Council contact each member of the incoming freshman class who has received early admission to Wake Forest.
Parents' Campaign: Each Parents' Council member is asked to make an annual contribution to the Parents' Campaign. During the latest campaign, Parents' Council members contributed $588,000.
In addition, the Parents' Council conducts the annual Parents' Campaign. Gifts to the campaign support the College Fund, Wake Forest's annual unrestricted giving program. During the spring semester, Parents' Council members contact freshman parents, seeking their support of the College Fund.
