About the Parents Council
The Truman Parents Council
is a group of Truman parents appointed by the university
president 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.
Truman Parents Project
Current
Project: Library Café/Coffee Shop
The 2009-10 Truman Parents
Project will add a Library Café/Coffee Shop to Pickler Memorial
Library. A café is a popular feature in many academic libraries
and provides space for students to have refreshments while they
relax or study in a casual atmosphere. In surveys and
suggestions, Truman students requested a café in the Library.
Pickler Memorial Library is a high-traffic building with an
entrance count of 544,000 for the last 12-month period.
The Library will renovate an area currently off the main atrium and across from the entrance. It will include seating for individuals and groups, a service counter providing various refreshments, and an area to be used for special events (poetry readings, guest speakers, readings by authors, etc.). The café will be an attractive area for students to study, take a break, or gather with other students.
