家长领导委员会

The 家长领导委员会

The 家长领导委员会 (PLC) is an active and enthusiastic group of generous families who recognize the value of philanthropy in higher education and want to make a difference by demonstrating leadership support of Washington and Lee. Members enjoy unique opportunities and events throughout the year. The PLC offers opportunities to make important connections within the W&L community and to eng年龄 more deeply with the school. While the PLC is less focused on committee work than donor recognition, we do recruit volunteers to help us with outreach and eng年龄ment events. The PLC provides a nice way for parents to build a unique relationship with W&L — a relationship that is separate from their student’s experience and one that can be quite meaningful and special.

会员的机会

订婚 — W&L parents share many things in common, and we’ve come to realize that one of those is a sincere desire to make W&L the best it can be for all students. We value parents’ perspectives on the W&L经验. 全年, parents are invited to a variety of gatherings where they have opportunities to interact with the president, 关键管理人员, 教职员工. We also look for ways to eng年龄 with parents when they are on campus for PLC events, 体育运动, performances or visiting their W&L学生(年代). For PLC Circle and Steering Committee members, these interactions often take the form of individual meetings with administrators, 校内住宿, special receptions 和更多的. 

事件 — Parents and Family Weekend (PFW) — In addition to the wide range of events designed for all families throughout PFW, we invite PLC members and prospective new members to a special cocktail reception on Friday evening and breakfast with a brief program on Saturday morning. This is always a great way to kick off the year and to thank and connect with current and potential new members. PLC Circle and Steering Committee members occasionally are invited to events designed exclusively for them.

PLC的周末 — Each spring we invite all PLC members to campus for engaging programs, opportunities to meet and hear from 关键管理人员 and faculty, plenty of time to network and socialize with new friends, and — best of all — a great excuse to come visit their W&L学生(年代). PLC members look forward to this fun weekend every year!

外展 — PLC members are instrumental in helping to foster a warm and welcoming environment for all W&我的家庭. 每年, PLC volunteers make welcome calls to new families, host or attend summer/fall Welcome Receptions, host regional events through the 校友 招生 Program (AAP) designed to encour年龄 accepted students to attend W&L，以及更多. Some PLC members help facilitate philanthropy by working with staff to identify potential new PLC members and encouraging other families to participate.

专业知识 — Our PLC membership is full of accomplished and generous parents, some who want to have a deeper level of eng年龄ment with W&L and are willing to share their time and expertise. 当机会出现时, we often look to the PLC to identify parents who would be a good fit for one of our advisory boards, strong additions to our network of alumni and parents who help mentor and advise students through the Office of Career and Professional Development, insightful visiting lecturers and speakers, 和更多的. As we get to know our PLC members, we look for ways to add value to their PLC experience.
