Parent Council

Parent Council Home / Parent Council Join Email List Join Facebook Group Email Parent Relations Welcome to The College of Idaho Family! The Parent Council would like to welcome new and returning students and their families to The College of Idaho. The Parent Council is made up of parents of past and present students, and some are even alumni of The College. There is a combination of local parents as well as out-of-town parents. Council members have kids with different areas of interest and are involved in many different activities at The College. The Parent Council is available to answer any questions or alleviate any concerns that parents or families might have about sending their child to college. Based on our own experiences, we can offer feedback based on what worked, what did not, and things we wish we would have known. Parents have insight on a range of areas, including dorm needs, campus safety, or even where to get a car fixed. We also help bridge communication between administration and families. We hope to make the transition to college seamless for your student and your family. We know that both students and families will enjoy their time at The College of Idaho.
