Parents' Association
Parents’ Association Mission
To welcome and engage parents of engineering students, while providing opportunities to participate in and support Auburn Engineering during their child's college experience.
Students are not the only ones who make a transition to college life. Often times, parents do as well. And like their students, parents need support, information and resources. The college’s Parents’ Association is a network of parents whose students have chosen Auburn Engineering for their college experience.
The program is designed to provide parents with information and resources that enable them to assist their student and better understand their child’s education at Auburn. It also offers a supportive environment in which parents can engage with other parents, as well as opportunities to partner with the college during their student’s days at Auburn.
We invite you to partner with us in support of your student by joining the Parents’ Association and taking advantage of the resources and information that we offer. We are committed to providing your student the finest engineering education – and providing you support during this journey as well.

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 Auburn Engineering family. All of our students benefit from the work and generosity of this extraordinary group of parents. Members of the PLC:
- Assist the Parents’ Association and the College of Engineering through their participation and attendance at least one Parent’s Leadership Council meeting on campus each year
- Support Auburn Engineering through a financial gift of $1,000 or more annually, or through an endowment level gift of $25,000 over five years for an area of interest to you
- Recommend new members to the PLC and encourage parents to give to the college
- Share the college’s vision to become one of the nation’s top engineering programs with people both inside and outside the Auburn family including other parents, prospective students and friends
- Provide insight to parents of new engineering students and share their personal experiences as an Auburn Engineering parent
- Host or attend gatherings of Auburn Engineering parents in their local area, and contact parents to encourage membership and giving to the college
- Recruit new engineering families into the Engineering Parents’ Association
Auburn Engineering is deeply committed to your student’s personal and academic success. We are eager to partner with you as your child embarks on the exciting journey of becoming an Auburn engineer. For more information, please contact:
