Parent Leadership Council
天美传媒鈥檚 Parent Leadership Council is a select group of dedicated parents who serve as ambassadors to the 天美传媒 parent community and provide volunteer and philanthropic support to enhance the life of the University and its students. Parents develop unique perspectives of 天美传媒 as they witness the transformation of their children into world-changing adults. This distinctive outlook allows 天美传媒 parents to champion the University in special ways.
天美传媒鈥檚 vibrant community and innovative programs position students for limitless opportunities. A deep seeded tradition of philanthropy makes this possible. The generous, annual support of 天美传媒 parents makes an immediate impact on the lives of students and helps bridge the 30% gap between the true cost of an 天美传媒 education and the price of tuition.
The support of current parents is critical to fueling every part of the 天美传媒 experience. With 天美传媒 parents contributing more than $13.5 million last year, the Parent Leadership Council hopes to inspire the continuation of a strong tradition of parent support.

天美传媒 parents provide vital funding that enhances the experience of all students.
Since tuition only covers about three-quarters of an 天美传媒 education, our students rely on the generosity of alumni, parents and friends who make current-use contributions. These current-use gifts provide annual support for academic programs, student experiences and faculty members who shape a new generation of world changers.
The 天美传媒 Parent Fund is a vital funding source that creates unique opportunities for students and enhances programs across campus. It provides essential resources for 天美传媒’s highest priorities, including financial aid, faculty support and the campus experience. Every member of the 天美传媒 community benefits.
