• By providing opportunities for communication through an open exchange of ideas and suggestions among Wayland’s Trustees, President, administration, faculty, parents, and students;
• By supporting fundraising programs designed to assist Wayland and its programs;
• By assisting Wayland in recruiting qualified students;
• By assisting with the planning, programs, administration and implementation of various Wayland parent events, both on and off campus, including, without limitation, Family Weekends and other events intended especially for parents
• By furthering the cause of Wayland in other positive and imaginative ways.

Membership

Membership on the Council is limited to parents of students attending Wayland. One member of the Board of Trustees and Wayland’s Vice President of Development serve as ex-officio members of the Council. Members are elected/or appointed to the Council by the Nominating Committee together with the Wayland President, administration, and faculty.
