One of the greatest resources available to parents of incoming students is other

parents who have gone before them. The Samuel Ginn College of Engineering’s

Parents’ Association offers all engineering parents the opportunity to actively

participate in their child’s college experience and connect with other parents who can

offer advice and support.

The program incorporates events, local

gatherings, information and resources from

the college, and the Engineering Parents’

Fund — all designed to keep parents

informed and connected to Auburn

Engineering while their student

is at Auburn.

Engineering Parents’ Fund

Parents have an enormous impact on

the future of Auburn Engineering. They

are important not only to their student’s

college experience, but also to the

college’s ability to maintain excellent instructional and research programs. Their

participation, as well as their financial support of the Parents’ Fund, is critical to

advancing the vision of the college.

The Parents’ Fund provides a way for parents and families of Auburn Engineering

students to actively participate in and support the education of their students.

Contributions to the Engineering Parents’ Fund:

u Support initiatives that directly impact students’ academic development

u Help the college maintain programs that provide hands-on engineering education

u Provide resources for student scholarships and fellowships

u Create state-of-the-art facilities and a progressive learning environment

u Enable parents to support a program directly related to their child’s education

We encourage all parents of Auburn Engineering students to join the Parents’

Association and begin an invaluable partnership with the college in providing our

students the best possible engineering education. We look forward to a long and

successful relationship with you and your student.

Parents’ Leadership Council

The Parents’ Leadership Council (PLC) is a critical component of the Parents’

Association and is the foundation of the college’s parent giving program. It is

invaluable to the college’s efforts to engage parents and help create and foster the

this extraordinary group of parents. Members of the PLC:
