Parents Council Project
About the Parents
Council
The Truman Parents Council
is a group of Truman parents appointed by University
President Barbara Dixon to serve as an advisory council
for the University and to assist with the selection of
fundraising projects that would be of interest to Truman
parents.
Each year, the Parents
Council selects a special fundraising project to benefit
Truman students. For the past decade, parents have
contributed more than $600,000 in resources for projects
that enhance the students' educational experience at
Truman.
2007-2008

Enhancements for the Student Union Building
Last
year the
Student Union Building played host to 675 student events and had a
total event load of 2,991 events including student, faculty,
administrative, staff and off-campus events. Along with these events
came requests for technology; there were a total of 1,569 requests for
technological tools as part of the 675 student events. When considering
all 2,991 events, the Student Union had 4,947 different technological
needs just last year.
As the Student Union continues to be renovated, we
are trying to create flexible, technology-laden spaces to answer all of
these technological needs in the future. This expansive project for
parents will provide data projectors and motorized drop-down screens for
the various meeting rooms, a complete sound system and stage lighting
for the Down Under (used for concerts and speakers), and a new sound
system for the Georgian Room. When finished, this project will allow the
Student Union Building to better serve the entire University community.
