Parent and Family Leadership Council
The Parent and Family Leadership Council recognizes leaders in the Lion family including parents, grandparents, and other family members and engages them in the life of the university. Members are dedicated to strengthening the sense of community among LMU families while furthering the university's mission and vision set forth by the strategic plan for 2021-2026 "Creating The World We Want to Live In" through volunteerism and philanthropy. If you are interested in learning more about the Parent and Family Leadership Council or other ways that you can make a difference, please email parentcouncil@lmu.edu and a member of the Parent and Family Philanthropy team will follow up with you directly.
Parents Fund
You can be an advocate for your student by financially supporting the LMU Parents Fund. Gifts are a further investment in your student's future because these funds directly benefit their academic and co-curricular experience.
Gifts to the Parents Fund are used where they're most needed to immediately benefit students. Your gift supports:
- Scholarships
- Academic programs
- Service learning, global engagement, and immersion experiences
- Student initiatives
- Information Technology
Every gift is meaningful and demonstrates your belief in the transforming power of education.
