What is the Parent Council? The Parent Council is a group of parents who volunteer their time by helping with the hospitality and staffing of parent events during Orientation and Family Weekend and by serving as a resource to the College on issues that are unique to current parents. Most significantly, the Parent Council wishes to serve as a resource to you. You may click on any of their names below to contact them with questions you might have about student life at Wheaton or for helpful conversation about parenting your student during his or her college years.
