Parents Association Council

PAC membership is by appointment. The PAC officers and the Office of Alumni & Parent Engagement appoint a maximum of 28 members. Married couples are encouraged to serve together. Membership should reflect the diversity of the student body (geographic and class year). Members need to be willing to participate in the activities of the council at their own expense.

Potential council members may be recommended by current parents or members of JBU staff and administration. In addition, if a parent is interested in serving he or she may contact the university at 1-888-JBU-ALUM, parents@jbu.edu, or fill out and submit the Parent Association Council application.

The membership term coincides with the time the member’s student is enrolled at JBU. The exception is the president, who stays on the council as a non-voting member for one year following his or her term. Ex officio, non-voting members can be appointed by the council or the Office of Alumni & Parent Engagement.

Meetings are on campus during fall and spring semesters. The fall meeting is the Monday before classes start and the spring meeting coincides with Family Weekend.

PAC officers include a president, president-elect, and secretary. They are appointed to serve one-year terms by the current president and the Office of Alumni & Parent Engagement. Their appointment is announced at the spring meeting. The president-elect assumes the responsibilities of the president the year following his/her term. The president will continue to serve on the council for one year after the completion of that term.

Parent Association Campus Events may include but not be limited to:

• Move-In Cookout welcomes freshmen and transfers to campus the week prior to classes in the fall
• Family Weekend (traditionally the third weekend of February)
• Other campus events throughout the year in which JBU Alumni staff invites the PAC to participate and volunteer.
