President’s Parent & Family Leadership Council

Sending a child to college is a life-changing experience for a family and our goal is to enrich this chapter in their lives. The President’s Parent & Family Leadership Council represents the larger community of the Purdue University parents and serves as an advisory group to the university through counsel, feedback, and support throughout the academic year. Our mission is to build a community to engage with the university through participation, service, and philanthropic support to invest in the educational and long-term success of our students.

Guiding Principles

• Enrich student and family experiences with Purdue University
• Champion Purdue University on campus, in home areas, and within business networks
• Support the mission and priorities of Purdue University through participation of one on-campus meeting annually in the fall

A Message from the Parent Co-Chairs

We would like to extend a warm welcome to all Purdue University families and share why we are excited to be part of the new President’s Parent & Family Leadership Council.

As parents our role has evolved, but our desire to create a positive impact continues.  As a top-ranked program, we’re thrilled Purdue University values our feedback and considers parents important partners in the shared mission of providing exceptional education.  The President’s Parent & Family Leadership Council is a unique opportunity to connect with university leadership through thoughtful discussion for enriching the Purdue experience for our students. 

At this especially important time, please consider joining us as President’s Parent & Family Leadership Council launches with the start of the 2023-2024 academic year. For more information, please contact Susie Budreau, P ’10 and P ’16, Executive Director of Parent & Family Engagement & Advancement sbudrea@purdue.edu.

Best regards,

Tami and Mike Hutchinson
