By joining the Sewanee Parents' Council, parents agree to make a gift of $5,000 or more to the Sewanee Parents' Fund each year of their tenure on the Council. In addition, they agree to support Sewanee by doing one or more of the following:
- Host Summer Send-Off events during the summer to welcome new families to Sewanee. Parents' Council members often host these events in their homes. Alternatively, several Parents' Council members may join together to host at a restaurant or other fun venue.
- Call incoming families to welcome them to Sewanee each spring on behalf of the Parents' Council. Follow up with these families during the fall of their student's freshman year to provide support and guidance.
- Assist with Admissions efforts by writing notes and calling prospective students.
- Support Career Readiness. Parents can represent their professional field at Beyond the Gates (a career event for juniors and seniors). Parents may also provide internships and informational interviews for Sewanee students.
In return for your service, Parents' Council members receive:
- Opportunities to meet and engage with administrators, faculty, staff, students, and other parents at bi-annual meetings on campus and through online gatherings.
- Access to the Parents’ Council block of rooms at the Sewanee Inn for on-campus meetings, Commencement, and other events.
- Invitations to receptions and other social events for Parents’ Council members.
