Purchase a Spirit Scarf
The Spirit Scarf is a fundraiser for the Webster University Parent Fund and a great way to show your Gorlok Pride!
The Webster University Parent Association aspires to include undergraduate students’ parents in the life of the university. Recognizing the important role parents play in the success of their children's college experience, an engaged parent makes for an engaged student.
Founded in 2008, the Parent Association is part of the Office of Parent Engagement in the division of Student Affairs. The mission of the Office of Parent Engagement is to provide resources, services, and programs for parents and family members of undergraduate students that promote student success.
