INDIANAPOLIS – The National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) has named 10 college and university students from 10 different member organizations to serve as members of the inaugural NPC Student Advisory Committee.
“A message heard loud and clear as part of NPC’s ‘Call for Critical Change’ was to include the student perspective in our advocacy efforts,” said Carole Jones, 2017-19 NPC chairman. “We look forward to working with the NPC Student Advisory Committee members to help build even stronger Panhellenic communities across the United States and Canada and ensure the current and future experience for collegiate sorority women is one of value and relevance.”
The NPC Executive Committee formed the Student Advisory Committee to help support the work of NPC to advance the sorority experience together, represent the collegiate woman’s perspective and provide suggestions on existing Panhellenic programs from NPC and offer ideas for new initiatives. Student Advisory Committee members also will serve as brand ambassadors for NPC.
Student Advisory Committee members will gain valuable experience working firsthand with NPC leadership and staff and learning more about NPC’s goals, objectives and strategies for being the premier advocacy and support organization for the advancement of the sorority experience.
