Purpose:

The purpose of the Association will be to assist Hillsdale College in the service and advancement of its mission.

Founded in 1844 “to furnish all persons who wish, irrespective of nation, color, or sex, a literary and scientific education…and to combine with this, such moral, social and artistic instruction and culture as will best develop the minds and improve the hearts of the students,” Hillsdale College is dedicated to difficult but noble ends.  In concert with the parents of its students, the College cultivates moral, spiritual and intellectual virtues that are good in themselves and necessary for self- governing, free citizens.

The Association advances these ends by promoting them and soliciting support for them among parents.  Through involvement in College projects and functions, fundraising and student recruitment and effective communication with parents and others, the Association serves students by helping the College enrich students’ lives and ennoble their humanity.

Membership:

All parents of the Hillsdale College students will be members of the Hillsdale College Parents Association.  For membership information to the PASC, please contact Mary Ewers, Director of Parent Relations, or any member of the PASC.
