Parent Leadership Council

The Parent Leadership Council (“PLC”) is a leadership giving society exclusively for Columbia College parents who are dedicated to serving the College’s mission through philanthropy and commitment. Members are strategic partners with College leadership, ambassadors for Parent philanthropy, and builders of a robust and welcoming Parent community at Columbia. The PLC offers exclusive benefits for all members, including special recognition through exclusive events, publications, and communications.

Membership Levels

The generosity of the PLC helps sustain the College’s longstanding tradition of excellence and our members play a vital role in supporting the Columbia College Fund. Parents may join as Members or Dean’s Circle Members with cumulative annual giving to the Columbia College Fund of $15,000 or $25,000, respectively.

For more information, please contact Kala Marsh, Director, Parent Fundraising, at kd2765@columbia.edu or (212) 851-7812.
