In addition, to better address the needs and concerns of parents and family members, the Parents and Family Association serves the following roles:

1. Acts as a liaison between the University and parents and family members to communicate institutional policies, practices, procedures, and systems.
2. Develops and coordinates programs and events that promote parent and family involvement.
3. Advocates for students and their families during their transition into the University and throughout the student’s tenure at NCCU.
4. Serves as a referral resource.

How to Become Involved:
During the November 15, 2008 meeting, the Parents and Family Association decided to form three permanent committees to facilitate involvement and engagement of NCCU families.  The committees are as follows:

1.) Membership Committee: Works to build the membership and involvement of the Association

2.) Parents' Liaisons: Stays abreast of resources to serve parents and families of NCCU students and ensures they are shared with the NCCU parents and family body.

3.) Special Projects Committee: Develops and plans parent events, programs, and services

If you are interested in serving as a volunteer with any of these committees, send an e-mail to parents@nccu.edu.
