Parent Council

The Eckerd College Parent Council is a group of committed volunteers who support the College by attending local and regional events, helping with Admission efforts, strengthening communication between parents and the College, and supporting the Eckerd Fund. Parent Council meetings are held semiannually on campus—in the fall and during Family Weekend.

A Letter to Eckerd College Families from President Eastman
Our students give employers and graduate schools exactly what they want. If our enhanced classroom experience doesn’t get them employed or in grad school within six months of graduation, we offer them continued professional guidance and class audits.
