The Parents Fund makes possible a wide range of out-of-classroom experiences for Miami students. These include learning assistance programs and collaborative learning experiences, providing late-night, weekend, and other events on campus, student travel to professional conferences, and many other initiatives, all designed to diversify the student culture of learning experiences.

Annual gifts to the Parents Fund benefit current Miami students by providing resources for programs that cannot be funded by state assistance, tuition, or fees. The support of Miami parents will enable students to engage in opportunities that would otherwise be unavailable.

A few examples of Parents Fund initiatives are:

  • 21st Birthday Card Program
  • Adopt A School, America Reads, and First Book Tutoring Programs
  • Community “Walk About” Welcome Program for Off-Campus Students
  • Office of Student Activities and Leadership—Weekend On-Campus Events
  • Student-Faculty Discourse Fund—enabling faculty to meet outside the classroom with students for course related activities and discussion
  • Parent Lantern Online for Parents of First Year Students
  • School of Fine Arts Initiatives
  • The President’s Distinguished Service Awards
  • Wilk’s Leadership Conference
