The Parent & Family Leadership Council (PFLC) is a community of UD parents and families dedicated to maintaining the opportunities and prestige of the University of Delaware. The PFLC works together to increase parent involvement and raise vital dollars for the Parents Fund in support of the Division of Student Life.

 

PFLC members reside in regions around the country and represent all four undergraduate classes at UD.  A dedicated and active Council helps guide the work of the Division of Student Life and the Office of Parent & Family Giving and Student Life Philanthropy and provides valuable feedback from the parent perspective.

The PFLC is overseen by the vice president for Student Life, Senior National Chairs and Junior National Chairs.
