PAG Leadership

The Vanderbilt Parents Leadership Committee (PLC) is comprised of parents of undergraduate students from the College of Arts and Science, Peabody College, the School of Engineering and the Blair School of Music. From time to time, parents of recent graduates and graduate students also serve on the committee.

The Parents Leadership Committee is comprised of parents who are committed to investing in Vanderbilt and its future. Gifts from PLC members go to work to enhance the undergraduate experience both in and out of the classroom. Through generous gifts from parents like you, scholarships are funded, world-renowned faculty members are recruited and leadership development and programming in our College Halls are created. During PLC gatherings, members have the opportunity to learn about university initiatives, to interact with Vanderbilt's key administrators, and to spend time with our Vanderbilt students and fellow PLC families.
