Who We Are
Established in 2024, the Parent Leadership Circle (PLC) was designed to engage our community of families of current students. Parents involved with the PLC recognize the importance of philanthropy and involvement on campus.
Our PLC strives to create opportunities and events for parents to connect and support one another while contributing to the excellence of all students’ experiences at MSOE.
The PLC recognizes current parents who have donated $1,000 or more to any purpose at MSOE from July 1 to June 30 of each year. By becoming a part of the PLC, you are contributing to the success of all students.
