The Duke Parents Advisory Council plays an instrumental role within the University by providing feedback, support, and counsel throughout the academic year.
Goals:
- Assist the division in strategic planning for new and existing initiatives.
- Represent the larger community of Duke parents regarding policy and program implementation.
- Provide an outlet for parents of students who want to be involved in the undergraduate Duke experience.
How to Join
Applications for the Class of 2028 and At-Large Representative positions will open next year in Summer 2024. If you have any questions about the process, please contact familyprograms@duke.edu.
Membership appointments to the DPAC are for one year. Members have the possibility of extended service when space and interest permit. The DPAC meets once a year in person during Family Weekend. Subsequent meetings throughout the academic year will be held on Zoom and may occur up to once a month. Occasionally, one spring meeting may be in person in Durham. The Division of Student Affairs expects DPAC members to participate in meetings and to engage in regular electronic communication between meetings.
