IWU Parent Council

Founded in 2024, the IWU Parent Council is comprised of parents and grandparents of both current and former students, working with SGA to raise money for projects, assist communication, volunteer for events, and turn ideas into reality.

The establishment of the IWU Parent Council reflects the university’s ongoing commitment to a close-knit and long-lasting community wherein even the grandparents of alumni can play a role in influencing the future of the university.
