Parents' Fund for Excellence

Enhancing Collaboration Among UM Families

A UM student stands with their parents and siblings

Students are at the heart of everything we do. Through engaging with campus leadership, the UM Parent and Family Association builds bridges between families and the University to further our goal of enhancing positive student experiences.

The Parents' Fund for Excellence serves as the main voice for family members of UM students. Together, we continue to uplift our students by:

Placing peer well-being coordinators in all colleges

Ensuring students receive the academic and career advising that suits their unique needs

Facilitating community building through initiatives and events

UM’s community is special because of our close ties and shared goals. When families and University leadership work together, our students benefit in amazing ways.

Every gift tells a tale. Be a part of the UM story, now and forever.
