As Father’s Day approaches, some current or potential Cardinal dads might be wondering how they can deepen their engagement with The Catholic University of America.

Here are some simple tips that can help any parent connect with Catholic University.

Join the Parents Council. The Parents Council is a group of highly engaged parents who are dedicated to the mission of Catholic University and seek to expand the opportunities available for today’s students. These parent-leaders make a meaningful, direct impact on undergraduate student life.

The Parents Council aims to build and sustain an environment of academic excellence. Parents Council members are important ambassadors, representing Catholic University through a variety of community and family outreach activities and special events. Get information on how to become a member.
