Parents Advisory Council

The Parents Advisory Council (PAC) is a dedicated group of Willamette University parents who volunteer to help advance the mission of the College of Liberal Arts. Since 2004, the PAC has grown steadily and is involved in a number of activities. In recent years, PAC members have made welcome calls to new parents, assisted with student and alumni career networking, helped us organize events and served as a focus group for University leaders. PAC members make leadership gifts for the College of Liberal Arts, providing resources across campus to enhance student academic opportunities.

If you are interested in learning more about the PAC, please contact Andrew McNall, Director of Parent Relations at amcnall@willamette.edu. He can provide you with more detailed information about volunteer opportunities.
