How we do it

  1. Welcome parents and families as full members of the Calvin community through events (such as Family Weekend and Passport), publications and web-based communications (such as Calvin-Parents Newsletter);
  2. Include Calvin parents and families in the life of the campus—academic, spiritual, athletics», etc.;
  3. Develop leadership opportunities for Calvin parents through formal structures such as Parent Council and informal avenues through volunteer projects;
  4. Increase the financial support from Calvin parents to assist in meeting the university's development goals;
  5. Assist Calvin academic departments and administrative offices as they relate to Calvin parents and families;
  6. Inspire Calvin parents to be admissions ambassadors to their local schools, churches, and communities
