CUPA Board of Directors

The CU Parents Association (CUPA) is administerd by the CU Office of Parent Relations and supported by a board of directors. The board is an active group of parent volunteers who meet on campus regularly during the academic year and is very active in the facilitation of Parents Association programs such as Family Weekend, increasing participation in the Parent Fund, grant recipient selection, and scholarship reviews as well working with university administrators to make the college experience better for our students.

We are always looking for enthusiastic parents to join the board and make a difference at CU!

CUPA Board members who are Colorado residents are expected to attend a minimum of 50% of all regular Board meetings; to serve on working committees; to participate in Family Weekend and summer orientations; to participate in the decision-making process; and to contribute to the Parent Fund.

CUPA Board members who are non-residents of the state of Colorado are expected to attend a minimum of one regular board meeting in the fall semester and one in the spring semester; to participate in Family Weekend; to serve as a CUPA liaison or CU Parent Club nucleus in their home town; and to contribute to the Parent Fund.

CUPA Board goals are to:

• Promote and advance the University of Colorado at Boulder and support the administration in its ongoing mission of excellence
• Cooperate with the administration, faculty and students of the University in developing a high degree of excellence in higher education
• Serve as a vehicle through which parents can express their questions, suggestions, and ideas about University programs and services
• Be a direct channel of communicaiton to the University
