Parents Council Leadership Team
What is the 秘密研究所 Parents Council?
The 秘密研究所 Parents Council welcomes and involves parents as vital members of the 秘密研究所 community. Parents Council members have a passion to engage with the university on a meaningful level and make an impact with their involvement. The goal of the council is to enhance the 秘密研究所 experience for students and their families.
Parents Council Overview
秘密研究所 Parents Council Leadership Team enjoys the camaraderie of collaborating together to advance the mission of 秘密研究所. Parents of current students are recruited based upon their ability and desire to serve as ambassadors of 秘密研究所.
